This heartbreaking story of a 22-month-old baby who donated his organs so that two more may live is sure to ring your heart with sadness. 

According to the Korean Organ Donation Agency (KODA), 2-year-old Gil Jae Hong took his last breath early Thursday morning after donating his liver and kidney to two child patients who were in dire need of his organs. 

Around 3:36pm KST on January 7, baby Jae Hong and his family were involved in a major car accident on the Incheon International Airport Expressway. The SUV that Jae Hong, his grandmother, and other family members were riding in suddenly came to a halt due to a vehicle defect as they were driving on the highway. The highway bus that happened to be right behind Jae Hong and his family crashed violently into the SUV. 

Jae Hong's grandmother did not survive the accident, and Jae Hong's mother and his 11-year-old sister are currently receiving treatment after suffering major but non-critical injuries. Jae Hong, whose head was severely damaged, was declared to be brain dead.

Jae Hong's family, upon being informed that he will die in two weeks, decided to donate his organs. 

Jae Hong's father reportedly said, "If there was hope, we would have done everything in our power to save our son, but after seeing his continuously deteriorating condition, we had no choice but to let him go. We agreed to donate his organs in the hopes that he will live on as another life somewhere."
