Pranay Jain was unwell and at the age of 26 he was told that he needed a kidney to survive. He was the middle child of three brothers. The Jains were a tightly knit family and the three boys were each other’s best friends growing up.

It was difficult to find a cadaver donation so Pranay’s mother decided to donate her kidney to him.

Subsequently, all formalities were complete and he was admitted into hospital for the transplant. As he was on medication it was causing dizziness. There is a million to one chance that the medication he was on would react with him and it did. Pranay fainted and hit his head very hard while he was in the hospital.

He was declared brain dead and ironically, though he had gone to receive a kidney transplant, the doctors declared him brain-dead and asked his family if they were ready to donate Pranay’s organs.

His father Shukal Chandra Jain, mother Purnima Jain and brother Peeyush and Priyank had a long discussion and agreed to donate his organs to others who could be saved, even if he couldn’t be saved. Of all people, they understood the need for others to say yes to organ donation. So even if Pranay couldn’t get the organ he needed to live, he ensured that many others did.
