Stormi's father Chris contacted News 9 a few weeks ago after he saw his daughter placed an ad on the internet for a "used" wig.
Chris has custody of Stormi and her three siblings, and money is tough right now.
Since we aired Stormi's story, Oklahomans have donated hundreds of dollars to a fund that's been set up for Stormi at a Clinton bank. People have also donated new wigs, make up and clothes.
Stormi begins her senior year at Clinton High School this Friday. She says where before she was self-conscious around classmates, now she looks forward to the new school year.
