However, Rahma’s limbs stopped developing properly when she was 6 months old, she has been in constant pain since then. She had a mysterious medical condition that even doctors couldn’t find the reason why her arms and legs suddenly stopped growing.

Fahad, Rahma’s younger brother, loved to help her and bring her out to visit their family relatives because he knew it made his sister happy.

“She started with a fever and that was it, then stomach pains,” he continued. “Then her body parts like hands and legs. She cannot use any if the ache strikes.”

“I help her in many ways,” he said. “Bathing her is another thing I do, and taking her out every day.”
