Maham Majeed died suddenly last May at the age of 21. But her selfless choices have meant that her death has helped save so many other lives - with her liver, kidneys, and corneas all donated to those in need.
Her family, who struggled to accept her final wish at first, have now spoken of the immense pride they have in Maham being able to give the gift of life and sight to others. The young woman, from Bury, Greater Manchester, who was set to study nursing at college, had signed up to be an organ donor at the age of 18 without her parent's knowledge.
Following her death, her family came across her donor card in her wallet and felt it right to respect her request - with her kidneys and liver being donated to save three lives, while her tissues, corneas (part of the eye which gives sight), and bone have helped many people, and her heart has been donated for research.
