Gift of life: One baby's heart saves the life of another child


People are saved every day through organ transplants. One donor alone can save eight lives. This is the story of one boy, who lived for one hour, whose heart now beats in a little girl.

Simon Alexander Garcia lived only one brief hour. But somewhere, a little girl’s heart is beating today because of him. Kim Whitworth and her husband, Michael Garcia, were devastated to learn at their 20-week ultrasound examination last year that their first child’s lungs and bladder were developing abnormally. Though they knew he wouldn't survive, the Fort Worth, Texas couple chose to continue the pregnancy.
