The little girl arrived in Miami with her parents and brother in June 2022, thanks to the intervention of the Cuban-American congresswoman.Maria Elvira Salazar, who this Saturday happily shared the news of the little girl's recovery.
"We helped the girl Vanessa a year ago with a 'humanitarian visa' so she could be treated for cancer. In Cuba they told her there was no solution. Today Vanessa is healthy. Because of things like this I am proud to be a congressman. The sacrifices in DC turns pink. Glory to God!" Salazar said on his Twitter along with a photo with the family.
Vanessa, now 7, was treated at Nicklaus Children's Hospital in Miami-Dade, after being evicted by the Cuban public health system. The girl had kidney cancer and according to Cuban doctors, she would not survive the treatment.
