Cassy's Story

Visit Cassy's website at www.cassysmiracle.com
Cassy was born with ONH/SOD. ONH (optic nerve hypoplasia) is the underdevelopment of the optic nerves. SOD (septo optic dysplasia) is ONH along with the underdevelopment of the pituitary gland and midline anomalies of the brain. Children born with this condition suffer from mild to severe underdevelopment.

Due to the severity of Cassys condition, it has rendered her completely blind, hormonal insufficient, cognitive and speech delayed.

For 16 years we have been told there is no treatment for her condition. This in no longer true. Beike Biotech www.beikebiotech.com , www.stemcellschina.com has been successful in treating ONH/SOD children with umbilical cord stem cells (NOT the controversial embryonic stem cells) and had AMAZNG results of restoring vision as well as improving hormonal issues associated with this condition.

Unfortunately, this treatment has not been FDA approved in the United States and could take 7-10 years to be available. Plus, the greatest success is with younger patients. Cassy is 16 and she doesnt have 7-10 years to wait.

She has already been accepted for treatment. She will be treated in Qingdao,China. She will need 8 or more treatments. The cost of the treatments is $33,000, not including airfare or living expenses for the 35 day stay in China. Our goal is to raise $40,000 to cover these expenses.

For 16 years we have dreamed and prayed for Cassy. Although treatment does not come with a guarantee, I believe God has opened a door for this to happen. I have great faith that God will help Cassy.

I have had a Bible verse e-mailed to me. After returning home from a medical awareness meeting about this treatment, the days verse was Matthew 15:28.

Then Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

I believe with all my heart that hour is coming. There is nothing I want more than for Cassy to have the chance to see the world and her family around her. We would GREATLY appreciate your donation and prayers.

Bless your heart and Cassy's. I know what you have been going through, my daughter also has SOD. She is 4 yrs old now and has the tantrums and hitting herself. I have been doing research on the stem cell treatments for over a yr now and will be starting my fundraisers soon to have them done for her. I wish you and your family the best of luck, my prayers will be with all of you.

@rebornloverxox Bionic body parts are wrong, because it is the path to having humans become robots, and that is a fact! Now will all of what has happened with the developments that involve adult stem cells, not embryonic doctors can resort to both rna/dna reconstruction to cure blindness, and it is an absolute fact! Now the definition of cyborg being of robotic parts means it is a blessing from God to commit suicide!
