Her parents, Arun Abraham and Sherin Ann John, natives of Mallappally in Pathanamthitta district, decided to immortalise their daughter by donating her organs — her heart valve, liver, two kidneys and cornea.
Doctors at a private hospital in Kochi harvested the organs and rushed the heart valve, liver and kidneys to Thiruvananthapuram by road on Friday night. Her liver was transplanted into a six-month-old and both kidneys into a 10-year-old. The heart valve was handed over to Sri Chitra Institute of Medical Sciences in Thiruvananthapuram, while the cornea was kept at the eye bank at Amrita Hospital, Kochi.
