His heart beats on in someone else's chest

George Herald

"He was walking like someone drunk," she says. It was then that she phoned for an ambulance, but Jason refused medical treatment and could not be admitted to the hospital.

Op Sondagoggend, 31 Augustus, het Jason nie wakker geword toe sy ma vir hom koffie aangebied het nie. Hy was onreageerbaar. Weereens het sy die ambulans gebel, en hy is na die hospitaal geneem.

"Hy was nie perfek nie, maar niemand verdien om so van hul familie weggeneem te word nie."

Teen Maandag 1 September is Jason breindood verklaar weens erge breinswelling en frakture aan sy skedel.

Donating her son's organs

Deur haar trane het Maria 'n onselfsugtige besluit geneem.

"Die dokters het gevra of hulle sy organe kon gebruik om ander te help," sê sy. "Nadat ons met die familie gepraat het, het ons ingestem. Hulle het my vertel sy hart, niere en longe is geskik. Sy hart is oorgeplant na iemand wat dit nodig gehad het - en nou leef Jason se hart nog, kloppend binne-in 'n ander persoon se bors."

Maria sê die wete dat haar seun iemand anders 'n tweede kans op die lewe gegee het, is 'n bron van bittersoet trots. Tog bly die vrae. Niemand weet wat daardie nag met Jason gebeur het nie. Nie een van die bure het iets gesien nie, en hy het nooit oor sy beserings gepraat nie. Sy familie is desperaat vir antwoorde.

"Die onwetenheid maak my dood," sê Maria sag. "Iemand daar buite weet wat gebeur het. Asseblief, ons wil net afsluiting hê."
