This Little Girl Asked a Beautiful Question. She Died a Week Later, And That Question Meant Everything.

“Why do you think that man said no to becoming a donor?”

That’s the question that Tabitha McLindon, a beautiful 12 year-old, asked at the DMV when she overheard a man refuse to be an organ donor. So when it was her turn, as she got a state-issued ID to open a checking account under her mother’s guidance, she decided to make the selfless decision to say, “Yes.”

One week later, that question – and her answer – meant everything.

No one told Tabitha to do it, but when she went to get a state ID with her mother, she decided to become an organ donor.

A week later, she fell into a coma due to a very rare brain bleed. She died shortly after.

Doctors asked the family if they’d like to donate her organs, but it was a question Tabitha already answered just weeks before.

This beautiful angel knew she wanted to save lives – she just didn’t know how soon. And now multiple people are alive today because of her beautiful decision.

Tabitha’s Wish

Just one problem: the relief site is apparently down. One Twitter user says it hasn’t worked for days:

@nycmayorsoffice website hasnt been working for me the last 2 days…help? i want to sign up!!

— Katie(@marathonwiner) November 2, 2012

Others used the tweet as an opportunity to vent about the NYC Marathon, which many New York residents say should be canceled:

@nycmayorsoffice I’m sure there are thousands of runners who would be happy to volunteer instead of using valuable city resources. #marathon

— AW (@TisteAndii) November 2, 2012
