In an emotional message on Twitter, the family of a four-year-old girl who died in a tragic accident at a fairground in Valencia last week, have revealed that her organs have been donated to five new “friends”.
Her father, Iván, posted a video of Vera singing a Christmas carol, with the message, “I am four-years-old and I say goodbye to the world in a tragic and unfair way. Thank you for the strength you have given me and the love for my parents and 'tetes' [a word used in Valencia for siblings] and to the five friends I help to live with my organs, be as happy as I have been. I leave you my smile so that it does not disappear.”
Tengo 4 años y me despido del mundo de forma trágica e injusta. Gracias por la fuerza que me habéis dado y el cariño a mis papás y tetes. Y a los 5 amiguitos a los que ayudo a vivir con mis órganos, sed tan felices como he sido yo. Os dejo mi sonrisa para que no desaparezca. VERA pic.twitter.com/0QHJnm61Ir

Vera had been in intensive care since the evening of 4 January when a gust of wind unmoored a bouncy castle at the Mislata fairground in Valencia. A criminal investigation into the event has been opened by the National Police.
One other child, an eight-year-old girl, also died from head injuries. At least seven other children were injured.
