Not only are donated organs in short supply, but the funds required for such transplant procedures are also hard to come by. And this is where crowdfunding can help out those who need it. When crowdfunding is done for medical procedures, it depends on donors' altruism and generosity. And a recent incident has proven this point.

A 16-month-old baby recently became the youngest organ donor in India and saved the lives of two people. The parents were counselled by doctors and transplant coordinators to donate the organs. The father on counselling said - ‘I am heartbroken to have lost my child. If the organs can save another parent from feeling this pain, I think my child will be happy.’
Organ donation and transplant is an extremely sensitive and complex procedures for children. But in this case several teams had worked together to make the impossible possible. And therein lies the strength of crowdfunding. Not only were the organs available for donation, but it was done promptly and effectively. The proper counselling and the compassion and altruism of the donor’s family are also commendable.
Crowdfunding has been a very useful tool for patients in recent years. In addition to providing financial help, crowdfunding for medical procedures provides patients and their families with additional emotional resources. Crowdfunding serves as a focal point of contributors' support, reminding them that others are willing to assist. Even the prospect of getting encouragement from total strangers worldwide is encouraging and can provide the much-needed mental strength for recovery.
