Zaidee Turner


Zaidee Turner's family couldn't celebrate her birthday but instead they were remembering their daughter who died tragically last year, and what an amazing gift she had given to at least 4 other people.

Zaidee was the ONLY child to donate her organs last year.

Her parents have been trying to raise awareness about the poor donor rates in their country.

Hospital and factory workers in the Goulburn valley donated about 10,000 pink hairnets; pink as it was Zaidee's favourite colour. 

Since her death her parents have been trying hard to raise awareness and spread the world about the alarming statistics surrounding organ donation.

Two children have donated their organs and this way they felt that their campaign was starting to work. 

"Its tragic that a child has died, but it does give us some comfort to know she died helping others," Mrs Turner said.
