When my son passed away at the age of 13 in 2007..I made a decision with a blink of an eye to donate anything that could be used to save others lives. I know this is what Joseph would have wanted, simply because in life he would help anyone in need. A few months after he passed I received a letter saying that one woman got both of his lungs and pancreas, one lady got one kidney and his liver, and a lady got his other kidney. They also used Joseph's eyes for the blind and his skin and his skin for burn patients. It would be bitter sweet to meet all who received something from my son. I pray that they are healthy. Joseph..mommy is still so proud of you for being a great kid, who loved and helped anyone who needed it. I know you are smiling down on me from heaven. I still have bad days but I think of you and I smile through my tears. Save a place for me and I will see you again ,🙂 I love you sooooooo much ❤️❤️❤️💜

[@myfairytalelife3]

My best friend's parents donated blood after I bled out during surgery because I had an undiagnosed blood disorder. I was 12 years old at the time and out of 12 pints of blood I only had 3 pints. My best friend and I have known each other since we were 3 years old and growing up I would spend a lot of time with her and her sisters either at my house or her house so we were already as close as sisters. Receiving both of her parents blood only solidified our bond as sisters since I now had her parents blood coursing through my veins, and we all became one big happy family. Even when we don't see each other that often the second we meet up it's like we were never apart. 😊. I totally agree with the mom in the video. I will forever be eternally grateful to her parents for saving my life and nothing will ever be enough to repay them for the gift they gave me and my family.

[@tcconnection]

I only found out when my dad passed that he had donated all the blood for a neighbor's heart surgery when she was a baby.

[@consciousbeing1188]

Thanks for the comments, folks... Wasn't expecting this much.. Wasn't looking for attention.. that's not who I am. I'm retired now... for quite a while actually... Maybe as I realize it's all coming to an end I'm just getting more sentimental about young lives... They are the future... and the future matters. I just hope humanity can hold it together long enough after I'm gone for this kid to lead a meaningful life... at least, more than I ever did anyway. Thanks again, folks.

[@mitch27560]

I find your disconnection from those you once called "brothers" troubling. Maybe you just havent truly dealt with that trauma yet, (a lot of vets havent) whereas this video is in your face, involves people already crying, and involves children... I also think your "fool with a rifle" comment is misguided and pessimistic. How many lives have been saved by those fools, because of those rifles? Its just my opinion, of course you are entitled to your own, and dont get me wrong, I find the video touching as well. However, being a vet myself, your comment struck a chord with me that I definitely disagree with.

What a great story. Blew my mind to hear the 3 yo kid talking about going to heaven if he wouldn't need the transfusion there. Makes me happy to see that the boy healthy now! And her father also. I'm on the dkms donor list since my first blood donation 22 years ago. If I remember correctly they asked the non registered people if they want to get added to the register. But you don't even need to be a blood donor. You can order a kit online and take a sample yourself from the inside of your mouth. At least that's the case in Germany.

If I could donate my entire body to save a child, I would. My life is terrible, mental illness makes me hate living, and when I see things like this, I wish I could just help someone else who deserves a chance.

[@kuroxo1509]

Hello! You could always donate blood, money, food or clothes monthly! Helping others can help making you feel better too. When you see things like this, you realize how lucky you are to be alive and be healthy physically. Being mentally ill isnt easy either, but changing your unhealthy habits, routine or whatever by helping others, doing sports, finding a hobby or anything can be a first step for you to feel better! I personally started doing all that and watching relaxing vlogs as well and it really helped me a lot. :)It wont be easy, it will take some time, but i hope you feel better soon too. Take care and enjoy the little things in life 🙏

My daughter was diagnosed with a one in a million cancer caused by a genetic mutation she was born with. We found out one month after her second birthday. In the middle of a pandemic. The only thing that saved my daughters life was a donor stem cell transplant. Her donor was technically two people, the mother who carried her child, and the newborn child that provided his placenta. His placenta saved my daughter. A new mother and a newborn baby saved my daughter. I don’t know who you are, but I will forever be grateful to the mother who donated, and the little boy who gave us a piece of him ❤️❤️❤️

I donated my bone marrow when I was 23 to a 7 year old girl who needed a transplant in 1982. I was a 97% percent match. The transplant was successful and she fully recovered from ALL (leukemia). I registered through work when a co-worker was looking for a donor, never thinking I would ever be a match. I still have a scar where they extracted my marrow. I never got called again, and I was sad when I was informed I was being deleted from registry when I turned 60. I feel blessed to have changed a person’s life.

I was signed up in high school to do this, and since then have moved several times and updated my info through the same company. I went out of my way to get info from them, because I myself have beta thalassemia, and I wasn't sure if that affected my eligibility to help. Not only could no one answer this question, but I also have asked e.r. nursing staff who were also without a clue. This story is great, but it kindof makes me annoyed when I'm trying to put myself out there to help and I can't get the right info I need. If I match anybody, the real question will be if I can still be able to help them.

[@Rachel-tz2ls]

Just being honest here but I seriously doubt you would be chosen to help with your condition. I have antiphospholipid syndrome where my immune system attacks normal proteins in the blood causing a higher risk for thrombosis and I can't even donate blood. There might be some things you could be able to donate or help with but anything blood related I would lean heavily towards no.

[@erinchambers9]

They are so careful with donors, as they should be. I can’t even give blood because I lived in Britain during the Mad Cow epidemic. There is zero evidence that mad cow has ever infected human cells, but they still won’t let me. And I’m O neg..
