Just a girl who didn't know just how hard her life was going to be but she smashed through all the obstacles put in her way and she'll continue to do that for herself and the future generation of people with disabilities ✨

Happy #RareDiseasesDay2025
I have never let my condition define me and I never will, having my condition (Hurler Syndrome) is the reason I'm the person and activist you know, and I wouldn't change anything in my life because of that 🤍

On the 2nd January, the woman who let me share her story with the world, which led me to many opportunities passed away 💔
Rest in Peace Nana, you were my everything, I loved you with every bit of my heart, I'm going to miss you very bad forever 💔
