America Santillan (L), who is the aunt of Jesica Santillan, and Mack
Mahoney (R), who is the founder of Jessica's Hope Chest Inc., an
organization founded to help the family of Jesica Santillan secure
funds to pay for her medical treatment, prepare to go live on CNN
February 21, 2003 near Duke University Hospital in Durham, North
Carolina. Santillan received a heart-lung transplant at Duke University
Hospital with organs that did not match her blood type. A second set of
organs became available to Santillan early Thursday morning and Duke
doctors have given her a fifty-fifty chance of surviving the second
surgery. REUTERS/Ellen Ozier
