Donate Life reports that 8,000 people die each year because they can’t get the organs they need in time. This is in spite of the fact that more than 8,500 donors give selflessly to save more than 24,000 lives.

A 4-year-old girl by the name of Jordan received Lucas’ heart. She spent the early years of her life in the hospital, as she was suffering from a congenital heart defect. A heart transplant was her only option to live. Thankfully, Lucas’ heart came to rescue.

It was a very emotional meeting for both of the mothers. Jordan’s mother couldn’t thank Heather enough. She even prepared a special present — a Build-A-Bear with the recording of Lucas’ heartbeat so Heather could hear his heart every day.
