Donna Ashlock, a girl from California, was sick. She had heart disease. "Donna needs a new heart," her doctor said. "She must have a new heart, or she will die soon. "
Felipe Garza, 15 years old, was worried about Donna. Felipe was Donna's best friend. He cared about her health very much. Months ago, his doctor told him he was going to die because of his illness. So he decided to give his heart to Donna. He told his family about this, and they said nothing.
One night, Felipe went to bed and never woke up. His parents were very sad, but Felipe's mother remembered her son's words. So she told the doctors to give Felipe's heart to Donna. The operation(手术) was successful. Felipe's heart was beating in Donna's body. When Donna knew this, she was very thankful to Felipe and his family.
"Every time we see Donna, we think of Felipe. She has Felipe's heart. That makes us happy," Felipe's brother John said.
Felipe was a great boy. We should learn from him. If everyone is ready to help others, our world will be a better place.
