Do not judge her, suicide is not something to be judged about. I myself didn't want to leave anymore after my husband died of covid 19 in April 2020. Me the optimist and social butterfly. I was very happy then saddest person in the world. My other half, the jelly to my peanut butter, the Ying to my Yang. Hope you never know the depth of despair.
She was pretty now she looks older
She looks like a 60 year old.
To end one trouble.. Create two
That grandma is everything. God bless her.
Katie, youre beautiful. So sorry for what happened to you.
The decisions that grandma's made was not easily! She deserves everything. God bless her soul
She wanted to die
Not fair to get a transplant from someone else..
SHE DIDN’T DESERVE IT !!!!
God bless 🙏 💜 🙏
She was such a pretty girl. Sad that she would want die. Now she has to live with this.
This is why if you decide to have a gun, keep it locked up at all times and the bullets in another area locked up…this could have been avoided. I doubt she had other easy access to guns. her family seems normal and her friends probably too.
Her donor was a beautiful woman as well. What an incredible gift.
she was beautiful, she was so stupid
Despite what she went through she says "I have a strong desire to help people" ❤️ Touched me!
Everyone's so focused on Katie, congratulating Katie, hailing her parents and doctors as the hero's of this story. The true hero is the donors grandmother. Taking her granddaughter in and raising her when her parents bailed and then making the heart wrenching decision to donate HER FACE when her precious loved ones dies. I don't think people understand quite fully the extent of her sacrifice. It's a big gift to donate ones internal organs, but YOUR FACE IS THE ESSENCE OF A PHYSICAL YOU. It's your identity. It's your last dignity in death and the last thing your loved ones see of you.
She was stupid for shooting. Her self
Medical miracle!
In the USA you are loved, in Britain they shame you all I saw good morning Britain. That’s fucked up!
God bless your family
