Hi everyone it's Maryanne here from the UK I'm an organ donner myself to and I have ticked off five of my organs to donated when I go to heaven to with god and jesus to and I'm a very religious girl myself to I'm a Roman Catholic rest in peace Raven now you have gained your angel wings rest peacefully in heaven with god and jesus xxxxxxxx😘😘😇😇👼🏼👼🏼🙏🙏🙏🙏🙌🏻👣💗💖
As the father of a 24 year old organ donor I have watched dozens of these. I have to say the mom summed up how I felt for those four days perfectly. They did not have honor walks yet and I remember walking him to the OR and feeling he had one job left on earth and we need to be on time. It took four days to reach that point and I did not want anything to jeopardize the hard work he and the nurses put in getting him ready. Instead of jackets as a kid he traded sneakers and he never traded up. lol My condolences to the family and yes she does have a great smile.
I am sorry for your loss. Your son is a hero. Thank you for telling us about him.
Thank you Chuck for the loving gift you were strong enough to allow to go to others. My son died and unfortunately that became impossible. But I know my Kurt would have been the very first to say "yes Mom, this is my way to leave you something ...and others hope". Our children are so special and while I am sorrowful for your loss I am so very grateful for your strength and for your families support. My heart is with you and his mother and his entire family. Thank you so very much for the ultimate gift you gave so others can live.
I weep for your loss. I'm sorry.
my condolences to you from New York City. Please always know your dear son was a hero like no other.
chuck i watch them to but i watch honor walks and these sometimes they are incredible i mean it can be kids from babies to kids in there teens not the adults i am talking about the kids they do adults to but it is still hard but not as much as you loose you child or children it has been happening a lot lately kids getting shot everyday you hear that and people wonder why i do not watch the news that little was such a beautiful girl
That nurse. That’s what nursing is all about 😭
"Not very many people get to live life, two different times" ...her Father's words were so powerful. I am so, so very sorry of the loss of your Raven
I lost my best friend Anna at age 15 in a tragic car accident. Her heart was donated, and I cherish every day the fact that her heart is still beating 💓
I remember those powerful words every time I watch an honor walk video. Very true. I’m sorry that you lost your best friend so young. I met my best friend in kindergarten and 40 years later I thank God that I still have her. After hearing about you losing your best friend so young I’ll give mine an extra hug when I see her next week.
the words were so powerful
The PICU nurse is phenomenal. Such a big, compassionate heart, unlike any other nurse ! Best wishes
I think that her mom and dad as such loving people, made her into that wonderful loving child that she was. RIP little girl.
YA FOR SURE THIS IS A TOUGH ONE. MIGHT NOT BE THE TIME BUT IM HAVING TROUBLE believing in god I always did but this is really horrible to take this innocent giving person is an atrocity and your comment caught me for the fact you made no mention of god I mean how can you it makes no sense. Imagine having the power to just place your hand on the head of anybody this sick and they would be magically cured
Raven was a very beautiful little girl. RIP Raven! I'm sure that you're still giving your coat away to a lucky little friend in heaven!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🕊🕊🕊
I have lost two children but there was no chance for organ donation and that has added to my sorrow because I knew both were organ donors. The pain of losing a child is indescribable but these honor walks are so wonderful. As a retired nurse...I cried along with the nurse...knowing what we hold in our hearts for a lifetime.
Sorry dear for your loss...Keep on praying 🙏 you are strong
Know people cry with you that you'll never meet
Know people will remember your child so their never forgotten and held with love
Sorry for your lost I know exactly how you feel I lost my nephew a month and a half ago he was shot back in November and while in bed asleep it was a drive by and 2 Bullets hit him one paralyzed him from neck down and due to being shot in the neck he had to have a trach which was miserable for him he was only 9 years old due to complications he passed but my sister his mom made the decision to donate his organs and we also did an honor walk for him hardest thing I ever had to do but in the end he saved 3 lives but I missed my nephew something terrible
Im Bett vorbei fahren,und dann erschossen werden?Wie sollte das denn bitte gehen?
Nice woman in red shirt broke my heart. She loves her job but its such a sad thing to have to go thru but shes still there doing it for the little ones who will b leaving. Amazing and heroic woman in my opinion.
THE COAT STORY IS MAKING ME LOSE MY HOLD ON THIS, IM LAUGHING AND CRYING AT THE SAME TIME.
She will live on in the lives she saved, what a little miracle she was.....
I was so touched to hear about how your little girl would give her coat to another child . My son , Brandon did the same thing all his life , always shared . God bless them and others like them .🕊🌿
My 17year old son died ten years ago I was in so much pain when he died, I could never make the decision, but so glad parents like you do xxx
Dona, sorry for your loss.
Smile when you think of him.
What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful, little girl. Hearing her parents talking about her, and how they just knew that this is what she would have chosen to do, it was just so sweet. I love the story about her giving her coats to other kids who were cold. She seems like she was such a giving soul, and she continued to do so as she went to heaven.
We have the same name! She was a beautiful little girl. Look at that smile❤️
Ruhe in Frieden kleiner Engel ❤❤❤
What a precious girl - and what amazing parents
Yes beautiful little girl and amazing parents.
My heart breaks for your loss! What a wonderful little girl.
This was so heartbreaking. I feel for this family. The Dad taking the hat in the end just made my heart cry. God bless the family and bless the child who died so others may live.
I am glad these 2 parents were both on the same page as it pertained to donating their daughters organs to save others lives. It is a difficult decision that would have to be a hasty decision so that others could benefit.
What a talented Babygirl 🤩 I’m sure she’s greatly missed condolences to the family 💜
Raven was a beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing your beautiful little girl’s story with us. She lives on in the many lives she’s saved . 🙏🏼❤️💥😇🥰
Those people will hopefully keep those coats forever and always remember this small girl with a big heart!
💯
My 17year old son died 7 years ago, I still miss him daily and still cry often, God bless you xxx
Never think you're on your own!!! Went through something similar 29 years ago when I lost my Daughter 30 hours after she was born😇❤️🙏 I'm here if you need to talk👌
So sorry xx
Hi everyone its Maryanne hospitals that have honer walks for organ donners its such a sweet way god bless all the doctors and nurses and rest in peace little angel Raven sleep well little one may your spirit rests in heaven with god and jesus to dread those angel wings and fly up to heaven and don't worry u will be together again one day
Happy 9th birthday, beautiful girl.
RIP Raven, what a wonder you were
a loss that one cannot imagine as an outsider. the worst day of a family can still be the best day of other families thanks to an organ donation. I was registered as an organ donor up until 4 years ago, but after the age of 50 you are off the donor list. if an accident happens to me, at least other seriously ill people should benefit from it.
A beautiful little girl. a little angel who left big footprints and made a difference.
Thank you and may God continually bless you both. My son had a kidney transplant. Thank you,
My heart goes out to all of you ,she gets to grow up in Heaven she is all well running laughing and waiting on you
What an amazing mother!
💕 from South Africa. Ravens beauty shone from within.
As a person who has to have a double lung transplant , I think the hardest part is trying to get my head around the person who will hopefully give me lungs and there mum dad siblings and families I often cry thinking about them my heart is broken already for them , if I ever get them lungs I would never be able to put into words how grateful I would be ,,,, this story had me crying uncontrollably for this beautiful precious little girl her mum who adored her so much and I can see her in you , im so sorry for your loss , a sweet angel in heaven and an earth angel in this world , God bless you all xxx
Praying for you Mary, God bless you too! 🙏❤️🕯
Did you get your lungs? I hope so!
I had a lump in my throat through the entire thing!!💔💔
RIH Sweet Girl💐
she is a BEAUTIFUL ANGEL IN THE SHY
Shes a hero for so many people .I'm so sorry for the loss of this beautiful girl. She went to heaven knowing she is helping others . ❤
Sad how so many people didn’t like this.
Because there heartless!!!
@@dennisbrill5336 I can not understand either, you are probably right, heartless.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My Nana heart is crying the tears only a Nana can cry. I didn’t know Raven and I don’t know Tanner, but my heart breaks for this family. God bless them.
Poor little girl and poor mommy and daddy. God bless you all.
What a beautiful angel. She has the compassion that many people who grow old and don't have what precious Raven had.
I think that God sent a special ángel for a reason, sometime we don't know why this things happens, just I know God Is perfect.🙏
What a beautiful little girl. My condolences to her family. You are all so courageous and selfless. The nurse is a beautiful soul too. God bless you all. Rest in sweet Heavenly peace sweet Raven.
I think i watched this before... but incredibly sad... Poor Raven Should still be alive. So precious, and beautiful.
This was the only right decission in this situation. It is every parent's nightmare, but the parents who's child is dying because a child needs a kidney or heart are also living in a never ending nightmare and fear. Thanks God for such people, who, despite of such a terrible and hearbreaking loss, can make such a sane, sobber, good and right dessision. God bless you. Sorry for my far from perfect English. I am from Russia.
Какой кошмар. Нельзя ждать смерти чужого ребенка чтобы жил твой ребенок. Озверели совсем.
R.I.P beautiful little angel 🙏💔😭😭
Your daughter is a special angel🙏🏻❤️
NOT MANY PEOPLE GRT TO LIVE ON EARTH TWO TIMES. WHOA...BLEW ME AWAY. ALL LOVE TO Y'ALL- waiting on a kidney 🌻
Sounds like she was a beautiful old soul in a small body. May God grant peace, comfort and strength to all her family and friends today and in the days to come.
Amen 🙏
She’s an angel, a hero and was so so loved and will always be
Sweet angel, rest in heavenly peace
Thank you for sharing this! It couldn't be more clear your sweet Raven was an angel! A precocious angel with nothing but love for humanity. Giving her coats away! That just made me laugh! She will live on because of you. What a beautiful gift you have given the world!
Heart breaking 1 precious life has saved many life’s she grows in them now what a beautiful gift sleep tight baby girl ❤️❤️💔💔
Oh wow so so sorry for both your tremendous loss. How sad to loose such a wonderful giving loving child at such a young age. So glad she got to help others live while she passed on. What a little angel. God bless both of the parents and all the loved ones that suffered this loss. RIP little angel.
I am so very sorry for this extremely painful and heartbreaking time in your lives. I really hope that with the help,love and support that you can get through this extremely painful and heartbreaking time.
Live forever in the arms of JESUSCHRIST 🙏🏼
Thank God for nurses & doctors they are angels amongst us. God bless the parents. I can’t even imagine what that would do to me. R.I.P. Ravin
Thank you for having the strength to provide such a precious gift and share your story and honor her memory.
What a beautiful baby girl with such a beautiful soul
She was a bright shining star 🌟! In her death she became a hero. I am so sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful Angel already. ❤❤
This little angel
To Raven's parents I want to say that they are true Rockstars. Raven did more in her short life than most. God Bless you folks. Rock on up there Raven.
Very profound hearing the mother talking about it being the last place she was directing her daughter to go.
I can not for the life of me understand how anyone can unlike this story of love.
I just first want to say that what a special gift she was to your family. She is a super hero 🦸♀️ I’m so sorry for your loss. But to give life to others is such a beautiful send off to such an angel 👼 that would do so much for others. God is taking care of her till you both get to be with her again. My prayers are with your family’s 🙏🏻👼❤️😥😢
She is a beautiful angel.
My deepest condolences and she is a brave heart little girl 💜✊
What a beautiful little girl, and a very special mom and dad.
God bless this family
A beautiful 💓 beautiful child ❤️ so sorry for your loss and sharing her story 🙏
Those parents are wonderful.
Must be exceptionally hard on the father. She must have fallen on her head... Very sad.
Words cannot describe......💔
Your beautiful and awesome little girl was an angel visiting the earth temporarily. She was too good and too precious to stay longer with us she is back next to the Throne of the Almighty God with her other Angel friends. Sincere and deepest condolences 😢❤
Ty for the gracious gift of life. From the Mom of a transplant recipient. U have no idea the gratitude her recipient feels....I can tell you it's overwhelming. God bless you
Iam so sorry for your loss but your sweet little baby girl was so given to give her coat so her friend was a unselfish act and that’s what Jesus Christ done for everyone l hope you don’t mind me saying that l love to honor her in my heart .l learned from her gift. Thank you forever Katrina. Bless you
She was so beautiful may GOD rest her soul 🙏
I remember seeing this on Facebook when it happened. It killed me then and it kills me now. Such a tragic story. God bless this family. I am sobbing. Makes me wanna squeeze my babies.
What happened exactly, please?
I heard the Father threw her up in the air as he always did but this time he couldn't catch her right and she fell and hit her head. She had a traumatic brain injury.
@@divahc1 the mother had told the story but I guess now they don't talk about it much. They just say a tragic accident. It must be so difficult for them.
@@annfisher8256 omg, how terrible. That's just heartbreaking.
@@annfisher8256 oh my goodness that is absolutely heartbreaking 💔
How terrible her dad must feel …. Doesn’t bear thinking about 😞🥹
Gorgeous little girl ! I’ve been through this, it’s indescribable!
Sorry for your loss
You are beyond belief! What an incredible love!
She’s a hero! She’s a legend! 🥰💖🦸🏼♀️
God bless your hearts on the upcoming 1 yr anniversary.
I was just thinking that 😥💜
A poem for this beautiful angel. God saw this precious angel getting tired, when a cure was not to be. He wrapped his loving arms around her ,& whispered come to me. She didn’t deserve what she went through, so he gave her needed rest. God’s garden must be beautiful, because he only takes the best . My sincere condolences to family of this precious angel 🌹
Some people are just too good for this world 🌸🌼🌺
Beautiful children amazing parents
Omg how sad.😭but her parents knew this is what she would of wanted. What a special little girl so young to literally give the coats off her back. She saved others. A true Angel 😇. God bless her parents.❤❤💜
