Sachidanand, who is of 'O' blood group, could have easily donated his kidney to wife Preeti, who is of 'B' blood group. Instead, he offered his kidney to Jeevan, who needed an 'O' group donor
Jeevan and Sheetal Desai (both 36) from Powai met Sachidanand (48) and Preeti Chaubey (39) from Boisar during a session organised by Narmada Kidney Foundation, where they are registered. Jeevan was suffering from renal problems for two years and needed a kidney, as did Preeti. In a rare exchange, the Boisar man gave a kidney to the Powai man while the latter’s wife donated one to the Boisar woman.

Sachidanand Chaubey (second from the right) donated a kidney to Jeevan Desai. Sheetal Desai (second from left) donated a kidney to Preeti Chaubey
