I'm going to remember that quote.
Amazing that such wisdom can come out of one so young.
What a wonderful young lady. She will achieve great things.
ETA: this part horrfies me - in Australia they would be paid for by the federal government.
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. We were not going to pay for it then have to pay again."
She said once Cassidy's nose surgery was complete, they would buy new prosthetic eyes.
