We thought about it and decided that she would be alive in other people's lives and give others reason to smile."

At the same time, Roli's mother got emotional and said that her daughter may have gone but she managed to give life to others.

In a similar case, last year, a 20-month-old toddler became the youngest cadaver donor by saving five lives. Dhanishtha fell down while playing in her house and fainted. She was immediately brought to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi. But despite all efforts by the doctors, there was no improvement and she was declared brain dead. However, all her other organs were working in excellent condition.

The parents took the decision of saving other lives by donating their child's organs and thus five lives could be saved.
