My Kidney Donor
From Sandeep Bhowmick

I got my transplant recently from a young guy in his 20s. I thank him and his family for making the choice of saving my life and giving me a second chance to live. God will shower them with love and peace. Due to privacy, they don’t want to be named. Please pray for them and me as I heal and recover.
