Matthew Firth stepped onto the dance floor at his wedding, not with his own mother but with Carrie Giddens, the woman who received his mother’s lungs after she became an organ donor thirteen years ago. ❤️

“It would have truly felt like she wasn’t there at all, so I kind of felt her presence,” Matthew said.

One decision can create moments like this for years to come. Visit https://www.wvlt.tv/2026/07/28/groom-shares-dance-with-woman-who-got-his-mothers-lungs-lifesaving-transplant/ to learn more about their story.
