Two months ago, we told you the story of Denise, a young Haitian woman in rural Zorange, Haiti, whose life was at risk due to a heart valve condition. The situation was grim. Without heart surgery, Denise's life would be cut drastically short.

Today, thanks to Hope for Haiti Foundation's supporters, volunteer medical professionals, Rochester General Hospital, and a partnering non-profit Intervol, Denise's story is now a success story with a happy ending!

After successful heart surgery, Denise and her brother Denis enjoy
a ride on "The Maid of the Mist" to see their first waterfall before
returning to Haiti.
