Episode 5: Fighting For Her Life

It happens in the blink of an eye: a bicycle accident, an encounter with a stranger, a winning lottery ticket. They are just moments in time, but moments that can change your life forever. And often, these moments are just the beginning of a new world for the people who experience them.

In addition to winning $25,000 on Project Runway Junior, Maya also won a $10,000 prize for creating this prom dress out of duct tape.
