On 17-11-2012 at 10:33 AM Sankalp got a call informing about a girl from Indore who was detected to have the Bombay Blood Group. Her hemoglobin was reported to be 1.4 gm/dl after having delivered a still baby. The doctors wanted 3-4 units of blood to be sent to Indore immediately. While the organisation explored all the options, another news was in the making. Bal Thackerey died in Mumbai.
