A girl named Violet was born with Hirschsprung’s Disease and had no left hand. Hirschsprung disease is a condition that affects the large intestine and is present when a baby is born without nerve cells in the colon. In the United States, about one in five thousand children are born with the disease.

At ten weeks old, Violet had to have a serious surgery that almost took her life. It was during this time that her mother, Holly Spring, decided to become a photographer to capture memories of her daughter.

Violet survived her surgery and her mom wrote a fairytale to portray the beauty and intelligence of her daughter. She wanted Violet to read the story and know that she can do anything that she wants.

Read the fairytale and look at the inspirational photos below.

Welcome to my Wonderland.

Where friends are always welcome.

Here, we play all day.

And masquerade parties erupt at dusk.

Even the water and sky will come together to capture the warmth of the sun.

 

In this land, fairies do exist.

And little girls can dance on clouds.

Even the trees will join in our dance.

And sometimes, really big friends will come and play.

Our wonderland is indeed a special place.

When you must leave, remember: our land is a secret land. Be sure to keep our secret.

Welcome to my Wonderland.

Where friends are always welcome.
Here, we play all day.
And masquerade parties erupt at dusk.

Even the water and sky will come together to capture the warmth of the sun.
