Jaswinder Singh - Project 4
Jaswinder Singh used to fall unconscious while playing sports in school. Doctors diagnosed that both his kidneys were damaged, and will have to find a donor. His mother donated one kidney to Jaswinder. Kidney transplant operation was conducted 3 months back. Surgery was funded by selling off a small piece of land that his father owned, plus some donations. Very little money was left to continue medicines, so he took less medicines than prescribed. As a result of self medication Jaswinder developed complications, and had to be admitted to ICU. He came back home but needed to be on medicine for three years. Click here to read more details
Please donate generously to help Jaswinder Singh in getting his treatment.
