When I was born without arms, people did not welcome me; they also advised my mother to throw me away

A courageous woman born without arms has opened up about her harrowing life experiences, including narrowly escaping death simply because of her disability.

In a heartfelt interview with Afrimax, she shared that she has never met her biological father. Her mother told her she only saw him once before becoming pregnant. Raised by a stepfather, she endured severe abuse until they eventually parted ways.

Narrating her ordeal to Afrimax, she said: “When i was born at first i was held in the hospital since i was born because they felt like if they released me to the society the society would not welcome me in a good way……. So i stayed in the hospital since i was born up to 3years old so after 3years old that was when i was released.

“So i was with my grandfather and everyone was coming to see this kid without arms because it was something that has never been seen in that county and the society could bring different reactions like you can throw her back to the river you can do away with her, you can kill her

She later revealed that when she was four years old, her biological father came to her grandfather’s house to claim her. However, her grandfather refused to release her because he suspected ill intentions, fearing they wanted to harm her.

According to her, life became even more difficult when her mother remarried and she had to live with her stepfather. He frequently tortured her and called her numerous abusive names.

In one instance, he starved her and placed food in locations she couldn’t reach, further compounding her suffering.

She also shared that when her mother realized how her stepfather was treating her, she decided to take her to a school for the disabled, where she lived among others with disabilities.
