Touching Tribute To Baby Girl Before Organ Donation

This is the moment doctors form a guard of honour to pay tribute to a baby girl who is being taken to an operating theatre for her organs to be donated to other children after she was declared brain dead.

The tribute took place at the hospital in the city of Monterrey in the state of Nuevo Leon in Mexico, when doctors were transporting the baby girl, identified as Alondra Torres Arias, aged just one year and seven months, to the operating theatre.

Alondra's kidneys and liver were donated by her parents after the doctors declared that the baby had suffered brain death after suffering from pneumonia. The tot was kept alive with a respirator before being taken for her organs to be donated.

The medical personnel who attended the girl said goodbye to her in an emotional tribute.

The video shows doctors and nurses standing next to each other in a corridor waiting for Alondra's to pass on a hospital bed.

When the bed approaches the staff clasp their hands in a praying position and look down to show respect for the parents' decision to donate their daughter's organs.

Many of them reportedly said "thank you" as the girl was kept alive by an artificial respirator.

Alondra's mother Jenni Barraza shared a message on social media saying goodbye to her daughter as she died after the surgery.

As well as thanking the people that gave her support in the difficult moments, she wrote: “She probably left days before, I talked to her and kissed her until the last minute.”

She said was consoled by knowing she had saved three children with Alondra's organs, adding that her daughter's death was not in vain.

Netizen ‘Nena Barrera’ commented: “What strength the mother and her family have, God bless them always, the sky has one more angel.”

And ‘Patito Flores’ added: “God bless you, I have no words.”
