In a heartbreaking but very inspiring act, a 10-month-old baby girl, who lost her life in a road accident, has become the youngest organ donor in Kerala and is giving hope and treatment to others even in death. Officials gave this information on Friday.
Elin Sherin Abraham, a resident of Mallappally in Pathanamthitta district, was declared brain dead after a tragic road accident. Amidst such grief that one cannot even imagine, his parents decided to donate his organs so that the lives of others could be saved.
His decision has touched the hearts of many people across the state. The girl’s kidney, liver and heart valve are being donated. Both his kidneys were recovered from S.A.T. associated with Thiruvananthapuram Medical College. A 10-year-old child undergoing treatment in the hospital will be transplanted.
To ensure timely transplantation process, the organs are being transported by road. State Health Minister Veena George praised the family for this unique work. Expressing his condolences, he said that the parents’ decision to think about the lives of others even at a time of such deep personal grief shows tremendous courage and humanity. He also said that the state government stands with the bereaved family.
Veena George said on her social media page, “Losing a child is a huge tragedy. Yet, by choosing the path of organ donation, Elin Sherin’s parents have transformed their personal pain into a ray of hope for families waiting for a life-saving transplant. Their work reflects the growing awareness around organ donation in Kerala and the life-affirming impact of such decisions.”
Although nothing can replace the loss of their daughter, there can be some solace in knowing that her organs will give other children and families a new chance at life. “In remembering Elin Sherrin, Kerala also remembers the quiet strength of her parents who, in the most difficult times, chose kindness over despair and life over loss,” Minister George said.
