ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV) – A teen’s mother is fighting in her memory, using the loss of her daughter to inspire others to become organ donors.

Dawn Torrain’s daughter Jasmine was in and out of the hospital since she was born, diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when she was only 7 months old.

“We always accepted military assignments that would put us close to a facility where we could take care of her,” Torrain said. “She was always first priority. It wasn’t necessarily about the jobs my husband but about the healthcare we could get.”
