Trevor Sullivan is a 15-year-old boy who lives in Detroit, Michigan, and he’s just like any other. He loves hanging with friends, playing sports, and spending time with his family. But while he was playing football one day, Sullivan knew that something was off. His parents didn’t know what was going on and chalked it up to allergies, but it was more than that. Shortly thereafter, the teen was hospitalized for heart failure.
He was placed on the donor list immediately, and after eight months, he received a new heart. His parents decided to record his reaction after waking up from surgery, and it will give you chills.
