Allie
Allie was born with a significant and painful vascular lesion on the right side of her face, and her first four years were marked by living with this condition. When Allie was born, her parents sought medical assistance, but unfortunately, the local medical professionals lacked the expertise needed to address her condition.
Over the next several years, Allie’s parents faced the heartbreak of stares and countless questions about their daughter’s appearance. Classmates unkindly labeled her a “monster,” intensifying the challenges they faced. Determined to find help for Allie, her parents urgently sought out a specialist.
They were looking for someone who could address her condition before she became more conscious of the negative attention, especially when around other children.
After discovering Fresh Start, Allie’s parents promptly applied for assistance. Accepted into the program, Allie underwent a series of transformative operations for her vascular lesion conducted by Fresh Start doctors, Dr. Lance and Dr. Aryafar. These procedures not only changed her physical appearance but also infused her with newfound confidence, allowing her to return to school with a revitalized sense of self.
