Mr. Sudhakar, 30 years old, son of Mr. Ganapathy, hailed from Paradapattu, Villupuram, Tamil Nadu. He completed his diploma and was engaged full time as an agriculturist taking care of his fields. He was the eldest in the family and was taking care of his parents. He was a lovable person and very much attached to his three children.

It was on 21st May 2016 that tragedy struck the family. Mr. Sudhakar while he was riding a two wheeler near Paradapattu had a self-skid and fall, and sustained severe head injury and became unconscious. He was rushed to Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) for further medical management.

From the day of admission Mr. Sudhakar showed no signs of improvement. After a series of tests on 25th May 2016, he was declared brain dead. His wife Mrs. Panchalli with three small children next to her was unable to bear the loss of her husband. The intensive care team in PIMS counseled the family members on the concept of organ donation and how Mr. Sudhakar could still live on in the world after his death. Mrs. Panchalli, in spite of her grief, decided to donate the organs of Mr. Sudhakar, so that her husband could make an invaluable difference in the lives of others. On 26th May 2016 Mr. Sudhakar’s liver, two kidneys, and heart were donated to needy patients.
