Melanie Gaydos may have a rare genetic disorder but this doesn’t stop her from pursuing her dreams.

Gaydos has a rare genetic disorder called ectodermal dysplasia which is a genetic condition that prevents teeth, nails, pores, cartilage and bones from developing. Despite being slandered all her life by the way she looks, she decided that her sickness is not going to get in her way to becoming a model.
