Thiruvananthapuram: 14-year-old Anandan lost his mother and injured himself in a road accident, but even in tragedy, he didn't lose his capacity to make what many may consider, a wise decision.
The injured teen agreed to donate his mother's heart after an organisation appealed to him.
Anandan's mother was taking him to the Shangmugham Beach in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday when a drunk auto driver hit the scooter they were on. His mother died on the spot while Anandan suffered minor injuries.
Anandan told NDTV that donating his mother's heart was a wise decision and not a difficult one to make. "When my mother was alive, I often heard her speak during our family conversations about organ donations and that how it is the correct thing to be done. Now I know a part of my mother will be alive somewhere."
As this 14-year-old boy has made everyone proud with his decision, he still shudders at the sudden loss of his mother and makes an appeal to everyone, "no one should drink and drive."
