NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — We have a heartbreaking update to share.
7-year-old Jessica Hart, lovingly known as J-Bird has died after her battle with cancer. Hart was diagnosed with Wilms in 2021. It's a cancer of the kidneys.
In September, Amy Watson sat down with the Dover, Tennessee child and her family and spoke about Jessica's battle.
On Monday, she died from the disease.
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
