00:00My name is Prakash Ramdas Shehlar. I am from Pune, Maharashtra.
00:04In November 2019, I had an electric shock.
00:09I had to cut both my hands and legs.
00:13After that, nothing could be done.
00:16My life was full of pain.
00:19Then, in 2021, I registered for a transplant.
00:26Then, I got registered in a global hospital in Mumbai.
00:29Then, Dr. Nilesh Shadbhai and I got in touch through Donate Life.
00:36Then, through Donate Life, I convinced the Kakadiya family
00:40and they donated their son Dharmik Patel's hands to me in 2021.
00:46So, after 2021, I am slowly making progress in this.
00:54And my work is going very well.
00:58When I was facing problems at the bank,
01:02I couldn't get my signature done.
01:05Suddenly, the ICICI bank told me that I would have to do KYC.
01:09So, I was facing problems with KYC.
01:11I had to keep my account as well.
01:13Then, I thought why not do Aadhar.
01:15Now, I have cut my hand.
01:16Now, why not try fingerprint?
01:18So, it was not happening.
01:19I thought it would be done this way, but it was not happening.
01:22I got it updated once, but it didn't happen.
01:24I got it done a second time, but it didn't happen.
01:26The third time, when I got it updated in April 2024,
01:31it matched.
01:32I don't know how it happened.
01:35But, my fingerprints were updated after the third time.
01:39Then, I updated my Aadhar in the bank,
01:42in the ration card, in Aadhar, everywhere.
01:45Now, everything is working.
01:47If they hadn't decided to donate,
01:52what would I have done?
01:53I wouldn't have been able to do anything.
01:55If they hadn't thought,
01:57let's do something for someone.
02:00Let's donate and help someone.
02:02If they hadn't thought like this,
02:04of their family, of religious people,
02:06then I wouldn't have been able to do anything.
02:08I would have been lying at home like this.
02:10Their thoughts, their thoughts and their decisions,
02:13are very important for me in life.
02:16And, to make that decision,
02:19Mr. Nilesh from Donate Life, Mr. Mandlewala,
02:23their work is also very important.
02:25All this is a collaborative work.
02:28Dr. Nilesh Shadbhai Sir,
02:30when he successfully operated on me,
02:32there were a lot of problems.
02:34I could have lost my life in the operation.
02:36He told me that the operation was going on for 14 hours.
02:39So, anything could have happened in that.
02:41Still, he did the operation so successfully.
02:43The bond of these three people,
02:45they came together,
02:47that's why I am here now.
02:48If these three people hadn't been there,
02:50the family of Dharmik Patel,
02:52Mr. Nilesh Bhai Mandlewala Sir,
02:54Dr. Nilesh Shadbhai Sir,
02:57if these three people hadn't come together,
03:00if there hadn't been peace,
03:02then I wouldn't be sitting here today.
03:04So, what I want to say is that,
03:07whoever is watching this video,
03:10I request them that,
03:12you should also make the decision to donate.
03:15And, join the Anga Daan Jeevan Daan Movement.
03:19Join Donate Life.
03:21So that, because of you,
03:23how many more people's lives can become happy.
03:27They can play,
03:29they can spend their lives well.
03:31That's why, do Anga Daan.
03:34Take the decision of Anga Daan.
03:36Whenever the time comes,
03:38do Anga Daan.
03:40And, give thousands and lakhs of people like me,
03:42a chance to live.
03:44Why have you come here?
03:46Right now, I have come to encourage,
03:49those who have done Anga Daan,
03:52I have come to salute them.
03:55I have come to thank the family who have done Anga Daan.
03:59I have come to thank the Surat government,
04:02that they have given Donate Life a lot of facilities.
04:05Because of which, my hands have reached safely.
04:10And, I got a hand transplant.
04:13And, those who are not doing Anga Daan,
04:17I have come to give them a message,
04:19that you come forward.
04:21You do Anga Daan.
04:23Take the decision of Anga Daan.
04:25So that, because of your decision,
04:28many people's lives can be saved.
04:30Or, many people who are disappointed in life,
04:33they can rise again and start their new life.
