great. She is a sweet and sassy 4-year-old girl. She loves pre-school and playing with her three siblings. We still do not know what caused Rahiima's congenital heart defect or if there was a way to prevent it, but as I sit here today, I realize that we are the lucky ones. Rahiima is here with us and she is thriving. She inspires us as a family and our greatest prayer as a family is for her to live a great and wonderful life and be able to pursue a medical profession and be able to help people in similar complex life threatening situations. We are so grateful to Gift of Life International.”
