An inspiring story about our little Haitian friend who lives in the poorest country in the western hemisphere, miraculously survived a severe congenital heart defect until finally receiving life-saving surgery in the United States, experienced the sudden death of her father just prior to her visit to the United States, made it through two open heart surgeries during her nine week stay here, returned to Haiti and later experienced the destruction of her family’s house by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake (but survived and is doing well). We are thankful to have had the pleasure of meeting her and her sweet mother.
