We all know about the importance of organ donation, yet so many of us are not organ donors. That sees more than 100, 000 people waiting for transplant surgeries across the United States, and 19 people dying while on that list each day.
If you ever needed a reminder just how important organ donation can be, watch this heartwarming video about Penny Gorman.
At just two-and-a-half, Penny needed a heart transplant. This video documents that terrifying time in her life, the days when her parents wait by her hospital bed and her brave face as she endures medical procedure after medical procedure.
Until that life-changing call arrives, and Penny has a donor heart.
This video could have been so tragic, but instead it becomes one of great joy. If you were considering becoming an organ donor, I hope this clip motivates you into action.
