“He was barely 19 years old when his mother came forward to donate her kidney to save her only son’s life. We thought all problems have been addressed and Suraj can lead a normal life but little did we know that the problem would surface again,” said Suraj’s relative Karan, while speaking with Newsline.

His transplanted kidney developed an infection after a few years and now it has stopped functioning. Having lost his father way back in 1984, Suraj, a resident of Buterla village, was his mother’s only support until he lost his job with a private company due to his deteriorating health.

“Suraj’s mother has already donated her kidney to save her son’s life. We do not know where to look now. We are just awaiting some generous donor who can donate his kidney so that Suraj’s life can be saved,” added Karan.

With the total cost of the treatment tipped to be over Rs 5 lakh, the family is requesting philanthropists to come forward and provide monetary assistance.
