"After saying our goodbyes to Lewis, close family bravely agreed for his organs to be donated to help the lives of seven other people," Chloe Roberts, a family member, said.

Thanks to that decision, the boy had some extra time before his life support machine was turned off. Then something incredible happened!

"Just hours before Lewis' surgery, he began to breathe again on his own. A miracle any family could wish for after being told he had zero chance of pulling through."

Since then, the young Brit has made steady progress.

"He has started to react to pain tests, moving his limbs on his own, and also moving his head from side to side, blinking and also moving his mouth. Every day, this boy is getting stronger," Roberts said.

Many people have already donated large sums of money after reading about the young man's remarkable story.

The cause of the accident is still under police investigation.
