Granger Smith’s wife revealed that their son’s donated organs helped save the lives of two people after he died in a tragic drowning accident last month.
In an Instagram post she called it “one of the hardest, yet easiest, decisions” the couple has ever made.
“I’ve always known I wanted to be a donor if anything were to ever happen to me. I just felt that if I had viable organs, why would I go into the ground with them? My spirit would be in Heaven, so why not save a life if I could?” Amber Smith wrote. “Never in a million years did I think I would be making that decision for my baby.”
Amber revealed that they found out their “tiny, red-headed hero” gave life to a 49-year-old woman and a 53-year-old man.
“I’m so proud to be River’s mama and I’m so grateful to God that he gave him to us for those incredible 3 years.”
