Zuly Sanguino  is my little sister, Zuly is  24 year old , she is a mouth painter  and a motivational speaker in Colombia . She and my family live in one of the most dangerous and poorest neighborhoods in the city of Bogota, as you can see in the video made by National Geographic.
Zuly lives in a rented house in very difficult conditions for their physical needs, She was born without arms and legs, due to a birth condition known as phocomelia.





When my mom ,  was recovering from childbirth, the doctors told her Zuly was born without arms and legs; and my mom would have to settle for seeing my sister lying all the time, until God have mercy on her.

Adapt to a normal life was very difcult, my mom recovered from the news after a week, but then she thought and realized that  my sister  had come to this world for some reason and she could understand that her mission was to help her little baby to find her purpose in life .
When  Zuly was 1 years old , her father couldn’t carry on the sadness at seeing her daughter in that condition, so he decided to suicide. My mom Guillermina was the only support for us  , and thanks to my mom , she learned to be independent and even learned to paint with her mouth.
But before achieving who she is now, she suffered bullying at school where they forced zuly to go up  5 floors of stairs on her elbows, however  the bullying and  her father's suicide did not  surpassed  that Zuly  lived at the age of 7 years old, zuly was just a  little  girl when she was  raped, that act reinforced her desire for suicide.
For those reasons and many more Zuly attempted to kill herself   many times.
Also Zuly was living for many years  without a wheelchair, because my mom did not have money to buy it,  zuly learned how to walk on the floor or sometimes somebody help  to carry her in his arms as a baby, zuly thought that life did not have a  purpose for her.

Today ,  my sister Zuly Sanguino is a beautiful, talented visual artist who paints with her mouth , and a speaker who despite her young age , she has given countless motivational talks on all kinds of businesses, schools , prisons and associations in Colombia.
Now i am asking  for donations for my sister to make her dream come true. Her beautiful dream is to come over to USA to keep working with her motivational speeches and art to help people who fall into depression etc. 
So please help my sister to make this dream como true...
people who wants to make donation to help zuly and my mom to pay for the expenses of getting the visas, pay for the airplanes  tickets ,food , hotels etc.. to como to USA...God bless you,  God bless everybody.

No arms,no legs, but big dreams

Zuly Sanguino a life without limbs

                           
Zuly Sanguino a life without limbs!!


There comes a moment in all our lives where we hit a metaphorical wall, stopping us in our tracks to test our fortitude, our will to grab what we desire. Many mothers, fathers, relatives, friends, and more have said it: "you can be whatever you want to be." Yet there are others who scoff at this idea, calling it naivety and dishonest optimism. But there are worldly examples that reinforce the worth of determination, of effort and drive. Zuly Sanguino is one of those examples.

                                                      

                                      Zuly Sanguino and her friend Nick Vujicic with the painting

                                                                      she did for him.





Zuly was born in Cucuta, Colombia in December 1989. She was born with phocomelia, an extremely rare congenital disorder (meaning, a disorder before or at birth) that causes deformity of the limbs. For Zuly, all her limbs were effected, leaving her unable to use any of her legs or arms. 
As a child, she was devastated by her position and her father committed suicide. She questioned herself, uncomfortable and defeated yet she finally realized the value of life, that it's a gift from God. With that, she pursued art and noting that it's one of her tools to show the world her soul, who she is inside. For her, if you desire something within yourself then you are only limited by your determination to fulfill. 




                           

Ultimately, Zuly has not been stopped, not with the suicide of her father, depression, or the loss of her limbs. 

 Zuly Sanguino is a Motivational  speaker as well!! she has the dream to go around the world sharing her testimony of life. Meantime Zuly keeps conquering the people's hearts  in Schools, churches, prisons, hospitals and Nursing homes!!
