In July 2015, an Ohio mother's worst fear unraveled—her eight-year-old daughter suddenly passed away after an asthmatic attack. She then selflessly decided to donate her heart for a child who may be in need of a heart transplant.

At the same time, five-year-old Peyton Richardson, based in Atlanta, Georgia, had been on a heart transplant list for months after a cold virus attacked her heart. Tests established that Amber Travaglio's daughter's heart was a match for little Peyton.
Amber gave her permission for the heart transplant to go ahead, thereby saving Peyton's life. Now, in a touching moment two years later, Amber has met Peyton, who carries the heart of her dead daughter, Melody.

Amber has described the moment she met Peyton as touching and emotional, and has added that it gave her closure and healing over her daughter sudden passing two years ago.

Amber has also revealed that she has already met the recipient of her daughter's kidney, which she also donated. She says the experience of giving other children a second chance at life is fulfilling.
