Renee Patterson's most precious present this Christmas won't be under her tree, and it didn't come from a store. This holiday, she says, she got her life back.

Fox News has an uplifting report about how doctors were able to create a new nose for a woman from Guyana by first growing it on her arm. The young woman was involved in a drive-by shooting in her native country, and through the help of some benevolent doctors and the "Face to Face" program she was able to come to the U.S. for this operation. The surgery was a success and will go a long way towards returning normalcy to her life.
