Heyam’s STORY

When Heyam first got married, she imagined a beautiful life with her soulmate, only to be completed with the birth of their children. Unfortunately, life had other plans for her. Heyam developed weakness in her lower extremities after she gave birth to her second son, and she could no longer balance herself, her condition got worse with every passing day, until she one day fell and broke her leg. She had several tests and examinations, but there was no specific reason for her loss of balance. However, she could no longer stand on her legs or walk after that incident.

After conducting an MRI of the spine and brain, it was found that there was atrophy in her feet, but her condition is still vague and is very rare, and no specific causes were found.

Heyam was traumatized after this, but with the grace of God, she tried to overcome her fears and disabilities, as she wants to try to live a life of grace and independence using her electric wheelchair, and to be a role model for her children.
