Family of Transplanted Girl Gratefully Acknowledges Donor's Selfless Act, Crediting Life-Saving Gift

Ava Cooper, an 11-year-old girl from an undisclosed location, has received a heart transplant in March, bringing a new lease of life and energy to her. After years of battling multiple complex heart conditions, Ava is finally able to "go places" she couldn't visit before.

The young girl was born with a hole in her heart, chambers reversed in position, a misplaced heart on the opposite side of her chest, and a missing or blocked pulmonary valve. Her family has been through a grueling chapter that included over 200 days in the hospital and numerous operations throughout her childhood.

The details of Ava's transplant have gone viral, but the identity of the donor remains undisclosed. The Cooper family, however, has expressed their profound gratitude towards the donor family for the life-saving transplant.

Upon learning about the transplant, Ava exclaimed "Daddy, I'm getting a heart!" with surprise and joy. Her father, Sean Cooper, was equally emotional, expressing his relief and gratitude in equal measure.

The Cooper family shared their experiences on the television show "Fox & Friends", hoping to raise awareness about organ donation and the importance of second chances. Ava, now looking forward to returning to school, is thankful for the second chance at life after the transplant.

It's worth noting that this news comes at a time when stories of successful organ transplants are making headlines. For instance, a former Major League Baseball pitcher found a liver donor in a high-school classmate he hadn't seen in 20 years.

Taylor Penley, an associate editor with our website, has been following Ava's journey closely and shares the family's joy and relief at this development. As Ava embarks on this new chapter of her life, we wish her all the best and hope for her continued recovery.
