A TODDLER has tragically died after being pulled unconscious from a pool in Texas.

Two-year-old Malachi Israel LeBlanc was swimming in a community pool in San Antonio when he was found unresponsive in the water.

Bystanders desperately tried to save him life by giving him CPR before he was rushed to the local hospital on August 5.

The toddler was declared brain dead days later and died on August 9.

The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled Malachi’s death an accident.

His grieving parents, Grace and Myron decided to donate their son’s organs.

His mom admitted being initially hesitant about the idea: “My initial thing was, not my baby, nobody’s going to cut my baby open.”

But she thought about other families praying for a miracle for their children, just like she did with Malachi, and it changed her mind.

“I’ve been in that room praying for a miracle, wanting my baby to live.”

“I felt that pain.”

“To know that other parents are going through that, and there’s a chance that they’ll get to hear their baby cry again, that they’ll get to feel their breath and listen to their heartbeat – absolutely, why would I not want to give them that?”

The organs that are likely to be donated are his heart, liver and kidneys, depending on the transplant’s success, according to his family.

Donate Life America believes his type of donation is rare.

The charity said that over 2,200 children under 18 are currently on the national waiting list for transplants.

27 per cent of those in need of healthy organs are under the age of 5.

His father Myron posted on Facebook: “Those babies who receive Malachi’s organs will get a chance at life.”

“Those families will receive a blessing that our Lord has provided for them through Malachi.”

“His story, and the way it has touched so many people, will live on.”

“I am honoured to have been trusted with such a son as Malachi.”

“In two short years, he touched so many people.”

“Everywhere he went, he brought a smile to someone’s face.”

“Everyone was always telling me how beautiful he was and what a joy it was to be around him.”

According to Malachi’s GoFundMe page, which will help cover funeral expenses, it has been said that three children in Texas will receive the Malachi’s organs.

The page’s organiser, Michael Mejia, posted an update, announcing that there will be a night of worship, in San Antonio on August 21, to “honor the life of sweet Malachi LeBlanc.”

So far, collected donations are now just under $25,000 , with the final target being $65,000.
