“The least we could do was think that her life wasn’t in vain,” said a woman whose organs saved 50 people, the organs of her 22-year-old son, who died in a “freak hockey accident.”
Lisa Wilson from Hornchurch in Essex said that her son Tom, who died of a cerebral hemorrhage in Lorraine today, applied to become an organ donor at the age of 18 and his organs came to the aid of 50 people.
He was accompanied by Lubna Siddiqui, who received part of Tom’s liver in 2015, and his nine-year-old daughter, Fatima.
The three guests, who met after Fatima’s first transplant, shared their stories with the ITV program at the Transplant Games sports competition in Leeds, raising awareness about organ donation.

In 2015, Fatima, who was two years old at the time, was diagnosed with rare liver disease and had to have an organ transplant.
At the same time, Tom had a freak accident while playing hockey and later died. His organ saved Fatma’s life.
Discussing meeting Fatima, Lisa said: “Because Tom is young, fit, healthy and sporty, it means everything, and when he had an accident in the middle of the night my deceased husband said, ‘Lisa, no.’ she said. there is no such thing. Someone can do it for Tom, but there is something Tom can do for others. Organ donation. ”
“And if my stomach hadn’t turned a thousand times that night, it would have turned again, but I realized that my husband was right, but when I made this decision and Tom was in college and on the exam… Come on, it was the least we could do to think Tom’s life wasn’t wasted.
“That’s why Tom continued to improve and improve life by donating tissues and organs from 50 people. But now it’s really special to get to know and meet people who are alive thanks to Tom.’
Lisa was accompanied by Lubna Siddiqui, who received part of Tom’s liver in 2015, and her nine-year-old daughter, Fatima.
The three of them met after Fatima first received a transplant and told their stories together on the ITV program at the Transplant Games sports competition in Leeds, raising awareness about organ donation.
Meanwhile, Lubna recounted the time she received the call that a liver transplant was possible.
He said: ‘This phone call was everything, words can’t describe it, because that hope, that someone gave us a chance to live, and it was wonderful.
“As soon as it sinks in, there’s a potential liver we can get, that thought is clearly there and that bittersweet, I can’t describe this feeling, something tragic has happened and this tragedy has given my girlfriend another chance to survive.
“Something I can’t describe, it’s a really weird feeling and when they mentioned Tom’s age he was 22, it was even worse. This was someone who had his whole life ahead of him.
Earlier, her mother, Lisa, spoke about Tom’s incident: “It was a weird accident and it doesn’t really happen in hockey, it’s a nice game – but he was shot in the back of the head – he rushed to the hospital and went where they said he was. they couldn’t help him.

“My husband came to me in the middle of the night and said there was nothing we could do for him, but he could do something for others: We should consider organ donation.
“If my stomach hadn’t turned a thousand times that night, it would have returned, but I knew he was right.
“So we went to a donor nurse: I was very proud to learn that she was registered in the electronic registry when she first entered the university.”
Tragically, Lisa’s husband Graham died eight weeks later, but her last wish was to keep Tom’s memory alive.
“We have to do this to keep his memory alive,” Lisa said the day before she died.
