Wineland, who was an organ donor, has already saved the lives of two people, according to an email Claire's mother shared with CNN. Her right kidney reportedly went to 44-year-old San Diego woman, and a 55-year-old man from Northern California is said to have received her left kidney.
"Claire's corneas and tissue was recovered and she will be able to enhance the life of up to 50 people," a family services specialist wrote in the email. "Claire's gift is huge, I want your family to know that your daughter is a hero."
Wineland's family asks that anyone who wants to honor Claire's memory donate to her foundation, which will continue to assist people around the world who are impacted by cystic fibrosis.
