As parents, we're embracing the profound courage that lies beyond heartbreak, navigating a complex landscape of sorrow and unyielding pride. With heavy hearts, we're sharing the news that our cherished Levi medically left this world at 1 pm on 29.03.26, embraced in our unconditional love.
Yet, amidst unimaginable loss, we're finding profound comfort in Levi's selfless gift to donate his organs—a testament to his extraordinary spirit.
Following numerous medical evaluations, we've confirmed that his generous donation will spark new life in others.
His heart, overflowing with love, will beat vibrantly in someone's chest,
while his liver will find a new home in Australia, inspiring hope.
Two individuals will welcome his kidneys,
his lungs will bring vitality to one in need,
and his eyes will restore sight to two people, potentially touching many more lives, as eye tissue can be preserved for up to four weeks.
Tomorrow at 6 am, surgical teams will fly into Wellington for organ retrieval.
after our final tender goodbyes, Levi will embark on his journey to gift life to others, surgery estimated to take around six hours. Though it's little solace, knowing his enduring legacy will flourish through others fills us with strength, pride, and gratitude. We couldn't be more proud
