Ein Teenager aus Seattle rettete das Leben eines Babys durch eine Lebertransplantation. Die 18-jährige Studentin Alyssa DelaCruz hatte sich ursprünglich für die Spende entschieden, um ihrer Mutter zu helfen, die an einer seltenen Lebererkrankung litt. Doch als sich die Möglichkeit bot, einem neun Monate alten Baby zu helfen, zögerte sie nicht. Das Baby litt an einer akuten Lebererkrankung und war dringend auf eine Transplantation angewiesen.

DelaCruz wurde als perfekte Spenderin für das Baby identifiziert und stimmte sofort zu. Die Operation verlief erfolgreich und das Baby erholte sich rasch. Die behandelnden Ärzte lobten Alyssa DelaCruz für ihre Mut und Großzügigkeit.

Die Familie des Babys und DelaCruz sind nun eng miteinander verbunden und freuen sich über das Wunder, das dank der Spende der jungen Frau vollbracht wurde. Alyssa DelaCruz sagt, dass sie einfach nur helfen wollte und dass es für sie eine Ehre ist, das Leben des Babys gerettet zu haben.
