Another focus of the event was the story of a baby named Gabriel Levi Sawvel, whose mother carried him full term, knowing he would not survive outside of the womb. Due to this, one of the main goals for Gabriel was for him to become an organ donor. Gabriel helped start the birth tissue program at Presbyterian Hospital by donating the hospital’s very first placenta. He also donated his eyes and heart valve.
