Indiana boy, 4, received life-saving liver transplant, starts Hot Wheels toy drive to honor his donor

Two Indiana families are connected by an organ donation that saved the life of Beckett Culp, a 4-year-old boy from Noblesville. Now, the Culp family is honoring the 7-year-old donor and his family.
"Beckett was actually diagnosed when he was six months old," mom Lauren Culp told Fox News Digital in a phone interview. "The ultimate goal for us is to bring awareness to Hunter and what his family gave to us, which is the gift of life for Beckett." Beckett has since recovered from his transplant surgery in June — and has been enjoying his time in preschool.

"We just managed it. He didn't do any meds or anything," she continued. "He just had checkups with his doctor about every three to six months and they did lab work to make sure all of his liver numbers looked good."
