There's a 15 year old kid in Detroit named Trevor Sullivan. Last February, his parents thought he had a bad cold that wouldn't go away. But it turned out it was actually severe heart failure, and he needed a transplant. His doctors got him on the top of the transplant list, but told his parents it could be weeks or months before they found a match.

He hung on for nine months, until they finally found a heart for him last November. Then the surgery was scheduled for the next day, and he pulled through. Now a video his dad took of him waking up is going viral, because Trevor starts crying but not because he's in pain.

Because...  he's happy to be alive. One of the first things he says is he can finally breathe again.

 

THIS. This is what the gift of organ donation can do. This is why we #DonateLife.
