Team Donate Life rushed to the hospital and did counseling with Jayesh father Shri Babubhai, Uncle Shri Manjibhai and Gokulbhai and other family members. After counseling, Shri Babubhai (father of Jayesh) and other family members said that “We regularly read the news about cadaver organ donation in newspapers, today when our son has been declared brain dead, we are aware that he won’t survive anymore, so rather than turning his organs into ashes we would donate his organs as it will give new lease of life and vision to organ failure patients ”.
