See What Parents Did With Organs of Their 8-year-old Daughter Who Was Killed by a Drunk Driver
A
young girl was tragically knocked down by a drunk driver in Cape Town
on Saturday. See what her parents did with her organs after she passed
away in the hospital where she was receiving treatment.
John and Adrie, the parents of an 8-year old girl who died on
Saturday, September 19, after being knocked over by a drunk driver, has
donated her organs to three children.
Nadia Bond, from Kraaifontein, Cape Town was walking to a house
nearby to visit a friend when she was hit by a car on Friday, September
18. She died the next day in hospital.
Her devastated father John Bond said she suffered internal bleeding, a broken neck and extensive brain damage.
Bond said the driver transported his daughter to the Kraaifontein
Day Hospital without calling an ambulance. He said the family only heard
she had been injured when they got a call to say their daughter was at
the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital.
John wrote on social media: "Nothing stops it from being real
now, no more hope, you’re gone but I still hear you calling. And I don’t
know where to look, baby, I can’t find you…"
Nadia’s mother Adrie said her family received a call from staff at
the Red Cross informing them that Nadia’s liver and kidneys were a
successful match for three other children. "She is a real angel,” Adrie said.
The family decided to donate Nadia’s organs because they felt that saving other children’s lives was what she would have wanted.
Police spokesperson Noloyiso Rwexana said a case of culpable
homicide was being investigated. Bradley Gysman, 22, appeared in the
Kuils River Magistrate’s Court on Monday in connection with Nadia’s
death. Gysman was granted bail of R2000.
