So Sad! Limbless Nigerian Girl Rahma Haruna Who Lived in a Bowl Dies at 19 on Christmas Day
Rahma Haruna, a 19-year-old girl from, Kano, Nigeria, who has no limbs and lived most of her life in a plastic bowl, has died.
The girl many called ‘the plastic woman’ whose limbs stopped developing when she was 6 months because of an illness, reportedly passed away on the 25th of December.
”Rahma Haruna, a 19-year-old girl has passed away on Sunday 25th of December 2016. May Almighty grant her Jannatul Firdausi … amen. She started with a fever and that was it. Then stomach pains. Then her body parts like hands and legs. She cannot use any if the ache strikes,” the family member wrote.
Later, a journalist Ibrahim Jirgi, gave the family a wheelchair. Despite her severe disability, Rahma had entrepreneurial ambition.
Her mother, Fadi, said, “From six months when she learnt how to sit that was when it began. She didn’t learn how to crawl. She started with a fever and that was it. Then stomach pains. Then her body parts like hands and legs. She cannot use any if the ache strikes.”
May her soul rest in peace.
