This is the saddest thing you'll read today.

The girl born with no arms or legs who lived in a plastic bowl.
Rahma Haruna was born healthy until she turned six months old, her parents noticed her stunted growth.

It started with high grade fever, then abdominal and body aches.
Rahma’s chronic pain flared up leaving her incapacitated. Her family showed care by carrying her around in a plastic bowl. Her bathing & other much responsibilities were carried out by her 10 year old brother.
Rahma’s family had done all they could to ease Rahma of this tragedy.

Rahma’s dad, Hussaini, explained: “I’ve spent 15 years searching for the cure. I farm, go to the market and lots more looking for money to pay her bills. I sold almost everything in my possession".
Since their campaign to help their beloved daughter, they had recieved numerous gifts and a kind person donated a wheelchair.

Unfortunately, she passed on Sunday 25th of December 2016 at the age of 19.
Life tragedies like this even though a sad one, inspires me to try hard to help the less-privileged in my society.

Imagine living in a plastic bowl your whole life, not getting to live life to the fullest.
It is not like you are living your life and had an accident or had a health issue, but you never had the chance to walk, or even play around with kids.
RIP Rahma Haruna. ❤️🙏🏾
