Heartbroken Irish mum says daughter, 3, will always be a 'lifesaver' after donating organs following tragic death

A mum who made the heartbreaking decision to donate the organs of her daughter who died in a road crash said her little will girl always be aAmy Dutil-Wall, 35, is now appealing to bereaved parent to pass on their child’s life to another saying the knowledge that some of her angel lives on in two other people keeps her going.

Amidst the heartbreak of learning of her daughter’s death and husband’s critical condition, Amy decided to donate Estlin’s organs while she was also nurturing her 10-week old son Mannix. She said: “I had to say goodbye to my little girl, without my husband who was in a coma and we were advised not to tell him of her death for five weeks.“When I was sensitively asked about organ donation, I knew right away not to give it a second thought. ‘Yes’ came out of my mouth before I even had a chance to think but it seemed a ridiculous thing not to be able to give someone else a chance of life.

“You don’t have any idea how you’ll cope in that situation until you are actually in it. Some days were horrendously raw but I was breast-feeding little Mannix and I had no option but to get up and keep going.”
