The 16-year-old was involved in a two-car fatal crash on November 18. She suffered head injuries so severe her family was told she would not survive.
Due to Hollie’s wishes, the family spent the first week preparing to donate her organs, her heartfelt story shared on the front page of the Rotorua Daily Post on Saturday, November 24.
