The child, a 3-year-old girl named Esther, was buried under the rubble of her family's home for over three days. When rescuers finally reached her, she was unconscious and barely breathing. But against all odds, Esther survived. She was taken to a hospital in Port-au-Prince, where she received life-saving care.

The woman who helped save Esther's life was a 33-year-old American nurse named Shirley Joseph. Shirley had been working in Haiti for several years, providing medical care to the poor and underserved. When the earthquake struck, Shirley was working at a hospital in Port-au-Prince. She immediately began treating the injured and helping to coordinate relief efforts.

When Shirley heard about Esther's story, she was determined to help. She visited Esther in the hospital and spent hours talking with her and her parents. Shirley learned that Esther's family had lost everything in the earthquake. Their home had been destroyed, and their belongings had been buried under the rubble. Esther's parents were injured, and they had no way to care for her.

Shirley knew that she had to do something to help Esther and her family. She reached out to her friends and family in the United States, and together they raised enough money to bring Esther and her parents to the United States for medical treatment and rehabilitation.

Esther and her family arrived in the United States in 2011. They were welcomed by Shirley and her family, and they quickly became part of the community. Esther received the medical treatment she needed to recover from her injuries. She also attended school and began to learn English. Esther's parents found jobs, and they were able to provide a stable home for their daughter.

In the years since the earthquake, Esther has become a symbol of hope and resilience. She has shared her story with people all over the world, and she has inspired others to make a difference in the lives of those in need.

One Child's Miraculous Survival and My Journey to the Heart of Haiti is a story of faith, hope, and love. It is a story about the power of the human spirit and the importance of helping others. It is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
