Heaven Lee of Vermont was named by her grandmother to signify the miracle of not only her arrival, but also her survival. Heaven weighed in at 1 pound, 11 ounces at birth.

With the help of medical personnel and blood donors, Heaven Lee was up to a hefty 5 pounds, 8 ounces when this picture was taken early this year at age three months. This little Vermonter will grow up to be a normal healthy girl thanks in large part to the people who take time out of their busy days to give blood.
