Abby Gieseke of Denton, TX was born without a fully-developed left hand. However, this setback is not stopping her from achieving one of her dreams: to play the flute.

Wood designed a stand to grip the instrument and hold it steady, and even redesigned the flute itself to make it more compatible for Gieseke.
