Mom of Four's Donated Organs Help Save 4 Lives After She Collapsed at Son's Football Game

Lucinda Daniels collapsed after rushing to help her son, who was injured.

A California mom is being remembered for her selflessness, even in death, after she collapsed on the field during her son's football game.

Lucinda Daniels, a mom of four, ran to the side of her son Dillon, a varsity football player at Mountain View High School in Mountain View, California, when he was injured in game on Aug. 25.

While by Dillon's side, Daniels collapsed after suffering a stroke, the high school's principal Kip Glazer told "Good Morning America."

She was rushed to a local hospital, where she later suffered a second stroke, according to Glazer.

Less than a week later, on Aug. 30, Daniels died, leaving behind four children ranging in age from 10 to 20, as well as her husband Dale.

Her husband declined to be interview by "GMA," authorizing Glazer to speak on his behalf.

Glazer said the family wants to raise awareness of organ donation to honor Daniels' memory, noting that she helped save the lives of four people through organ donation on the day she died.

In the United States, more than 100,000 adults and children are currently on the waiting list for organ donations, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.

"On Wednesday when she passed, she already saved four lives, and she will continue to [save] more with her organ donation," Glazer said. "[Dale] really wanted to emphasize Lucinda being an organ donor and the number of lives that she saved. He’s very proud of that."

On Friday, the Daniels family was present at Mountain View High School's first home football game of the season, where Daniels was remembered as the team's biggest cheerleader.

Em… she collapsed and died

Stroke

Not a common occurrence back when we baby boomers were running around getting hurt

Parents of high schoolers did not regularly collapse and die of cerebrovascular occurrences back in the dark ages of medicine

Now it’s oh she was a nice gal. She is remembered…

Nothing of everyone at the high school event was horrified and traumatized not to mention the kid with his mother dropping dead in front of the school while he was playing football

Geeze.

He’ll never play football again

Just say no Just say it. No.

Just asking because I really don't know. If you get an organ from someone who has been vaccinated for Covid, are you then vaccinated?

I figure they’re gonna take whatever organs you have that they want whether you’re an official donor or not. Those cards or more on your driver’s license are placebos. (IMO)

But then, if you haven’t been vaxxed you can’t receive an organ.

Stories like this are so hard. Someone dies. Others are able to get their organs, and keep on living. STILL, someone dies, leaving their families to grieve their loss. Medical advances are saving more lives. Still, someone dies.

No. But there are plenty around her who will tell you that you are. But why let the facts get in the way.

I said, “I figure”, and “IMO”.

I see that Reading Comprehension isn’t your strong suit.

The medical industry gets paid a lot. The drug companies get paid a lot. ABC news gets paid a lot for this M E S S A G I N G.

Pop quiz? Did the family of the "donor" get paid? Even if only an honorarium of some sort?

Part of the M E S S A G I N G is to "donate," so that others might live and yet others will make a bundle....

I had a coworker, father of 2, died from a heart attack at 38. Friends husband, a paramedic, had his first heart attack at 32 and another coworker died at 42 from one.

All of them were overweight.
Now, the vax is still up there in probability for me but this isn’t as clear cut as if her son had had the heart attack on the field.

Stories like this are so hard. Someone dies.

My brother died in a tragic auto accident back in 2001. After a week in a coma, they pulled the plug and his organs were harvested.

His heart was donated to a 50 year old + individual whose life was saved in the interim and I have a copy of his thank you letter to our family.

Unfortunately, due to confidentially laws, I've never been able to indentify him and inquire on how he is doing today...........Hope he is still alive.
