AGNES

"I am an amputee. I was not born like this, but I’ve come to accept that this is me now."

"Once you accept your condition, you can live with it. So nothing can stop me. I can do whatever a normal human being with two legs and two hands can do. The only thing I can’t do is run!"  

​

Agnes was able to source a new leg in South Africa. She is incredibly frustrated that she is not safe to go back home and feels completely stuck. "I miss my family, I miss my friends, I miss my home.  I just hope everything goes back to normal. It has not been easy…people have been killed...children…women…family members….friends… it’s very sad."

​

Despite all of the losses, Agnes' story is one of resilience. She is a strong advocate for making the most out of life and firmly believes that a  "disability is not being disabled. You are still able to do whatever you want to do!"
