Then and Now: A Little Girl Lost in Queens, 14 Years Later
UPDATE: To donate to the Valery Fund, click here. Her story captivated the city, left abandoned on a Queens street at just 4 years old in the middle of night with no shoes. Fast forward 14 years, that same little girl is now a high school senior in Bolivia, and is looking to go to college in the U.S. Melissa Russo first introduced the world to little Valery in 2005 and caught up with her about her remarkable journey, and the effect it had on each of them.
