DONATE A BIT............HELP HER GET NOSE AND PROSTHETIC EYES...........spend a bit less on nonsense things and do something worthwhile with the money instead...........:)
Cassidy Hooper has high hopes for a career in radio broadcasting, despite her physical challenges - the 16-year-old was born with no eyes or nose.
No challenge is too big for her: She runs on the track team and qualified for a scholarship to the Charlotte Curling Club.
Since the age of 11, Cassidy has gone through a series of skin graft and facial reconstruction operations. In 3 surgeries, doctors will stretch skin flaps over a bone or cartilage graft from another part of her body.
Cassidy said she is excited that for the first time she will be able to smell and breathe through her nose. "I'll have a real nose like everyone else's," she said.
Nothing has ever stood in the way of Cassidy's optimism and ambition.
"Things always may be hard," Cassidy told ABCNews.com. "But I don't need easy, I just need possible."
As a little girl, Cassidy had prosthetics for eyes, but at $5,000 a piece the family could not afford to replace the custom-made eyes when she outgrew them.
"Insurance didn't pay one cent," said her mother. "We had already started the process to do her nose, moving her eyes closer together and having her skull reshaped."
She said once Cassidy's nose surgery was complete, they would buy new prosthetic eyes.
