20-year-old Squash gold medallist’s kidney on sale

Ravi Dixit, a 20-year-old squash player hailing from Dhampur has offered to sell his kidney online in order to raise money for his game. Ravi, a gold medal winner at the Asian junior championship in 2010 has struggled to meet his daily needs as he looks to support his family and also train for international events with the little money that he earns.

Ravi Dixit posted the following on Facebook:

"I have been playing squash for the last 10 years. Even after winning so many medals and representing India so many times, I do not get any support to take my squash to the national and international levels," Dixit said. "Dhampur Sugar Mill has supported me but how long will they continue to support me? Next month, the games are starting in Guwahati and I am representing India. To prepare for the tournament, I am training in Chennai but I have not been able to arrange enough money to fund my campaign for the games. I have lost my determination. I am ready to sell my kidney. If anyone needs a kidney, they can contact me. The price of my kidney is Rs. 8 lakh."
