For most people, a nose is an essential part of their physical appearance. But for one little girl, it’s something she was born without. Five-year-old Ava was born with an extremely rare condition known as congenital arhinia, which meant she was born without a nose. This condition is so rare that it affects only one in 197 million people in the world. When Ava was born, her parents were shocked to find that she had no nose. Despite the shock, they immediately lavished her with love and attention, determined to make sure she was given the best possible chance in life.
Ava’s parents consulted with doctors and geneticists to find out what caused their daughter’s condition. While the exact cause is still unknown, it is believed to be a genetic mutation. Despite her condition, Ava has grown into a healthy and happy child. She loves to play with her friends, dance, and do arts and crafts. She even has a special prosthetic nose that she wears when out in public.
Ava’s parents have been incredibly supportive throughout her life, teaching her to be confident and proud of her differences. They’ve even set up a GoFundMe page to raise money to cover the cost of her medical bills and prosthetics. Ava is an inspiration to many, showing that it’s possible to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles and live a full and happy life. Her story is proof that no matter what life throws at you, it’s possible to keep going and make the best of it.
