In the middle of a missile attack on Kyiv, Ukraine, a doctor named Borys Todurov risked everything to save a child’s life.
Last week, while Russian drones and explosions rocked the city, Dr. Todurov got behind the wheel and drove across Kyiv with a donor heart in the backseat — a heart meant for a young girl whose only chance at survival was that transplant. No waiting for the all-clear. No second guessing. Just go.
🚨 He dodged fires, air raid sirens, and literal missiles to get the heart to the surgical team in time. And yes — they did it. The transplant was a success. A video even captured the moment her new heart started to beat inside her chest.
💔 The donor was a 4-year-old girl who’d been declared brain-dead. Her mom — a medical worker — made the incredible decision to donate her daughter’s organs. Because of her, three children were saved:
- Her heart went to the little girl
- Her kidneys saved a 14-year-old boy
- And her liver gave life to a 16-year-old girl
It’s a powerful reminder that even in the middle of war, there’s still deep humanity.
