Congenital Amputation

Amputation is often caused by accident or a medical condition, but congenital amputation occurs in the womb. People with congenital amputation were born without one or more limbs, and this serious condition can have an extreme effect on one’s life.

However, people with congenital amputation can be as happy, beautiful, and accomplished as anyone else. The model Kanya Sesser, for instance, was born without legs but still managed to make a name for herself not only as a beauty symbol but also as an athlete. She practices surfing, skateboarding, skiing, and even basketball!
