Victoria Hope Dooley was born on November 21, 2011 with Hypo-plastic Left Heart Syndrome. That first week she faced her first big test and embarked on a voyage of courage, hope, tolerance, persistence, love and grace. That test was the Norwood surgery. Victoria Hope, with the help of a team of heroes at NYU Medical Center, made it through! She would face two more surgeries, the Glen and Fontan, over the next two years. Through everything, Victoria has maintained a grace that we can only describe as inspiring. Her smile has cut through tears, fears, and worry, and lifts everyone she meets. Victoria is ten now, is in fifth grade and plays softball and piano. Everything she is able to do and enjoy is in great thanks to medical professionals, research teams and all who contribute to the task of overcoming the odds to provide a better life for those with heart defects.
