Natashas Cinderella Story: Going to the Prom | Cincinnati Childrens

This is the inspirational story of how a hospital care team pulled together to get a patient to the prom.

Natasha Starkey, a 19-year-old patient who suffers from epidermolysis bullosa, had been in the hospital for months because of her painful condition, which is like having skin as fragile as a butterfly's.

Her one wish, to help her feel like a "normal" teenager, was to go to the prom. But she had to be off of her pain medication for long enough to be away from the hospital.

This is how her care team and mother pulled together to make it happen.
