Parents of young girl donate heart valves hoping to save other child’s life
The chief of the Lac La Ronge Indian Band in Saskatchewan says the family of a young girl who took her own life is hoping to save a life by donating her heart valves.
“She was very giving and when the family learned that she wasn’t going to make it, the family wanted to give something back. The mom and dad decided that they would give her heart valves to another child to give life to another child,” said Tammy Cook-Searson.
