Donna Ashlock, a 14-years-old girl from California, was very sick. She had a bad heart. "Donna needs a new heart," her doctors said. "She must have a new heart, or she will die soon."
Felipe Garza, 15, was worried about Donna. Felipe was Donna's friend. He liked Donna very much. He liked her freckles, and he liked her smile. Felipe didn't want Donna to die.
Felipe talked to his mother about Donna, "I'm going to die," Felipe told his mother, "and i'm going to give my heart to Donna."
