Life
Haruna was born some time between 1996 and 1997, in Nigeria. At the age of six months, Haruna's legs and arms stopped growing except for one of her arms. She was the victim of an unknown disease that left her disabled, unable to do basic tasks such as walking, crawling or even handling most items. Because of excessive pain in her extremities, she had to remain inside a plastic bucket, shortly after the photo went viral, an anonymous person donated a wheelchair to ease her transport. Her parents affirmed having spent about 1 million naira in treatment (US$2,737.89), however any advancement in her disease proved ineffective results. She died of unknown causes on December 25, 2016 at age 19 in Kano, Nigeria. She's survived by both her parents and her brothers.[2]
