In her native Haiti, the growth on 13-year-old Marlie Casseus's face is believed by many to be the work of the devil. She hides away and is given up for dead as the hideous growth closes her throat and prevents her breathing.

I think the saddest things is that she was shunned by those around her. They said she must have been cursed by voodoo, and made her feel like a monster.

Marlie Casseus is at home in Haiti with her family. (And without the 14 to 16 pound tumor that prevented her from speaking, eating, and drinking for years!)

What a way to start the new year!

Congratulations, Marlie!
