“From the day she was born, we knew her journey would be different. It is painful to see her struggle with movements that come so easily to other children. I am the only earning member, and we are already in debt, but we are holding on to hope. All we want is to see Divya move freely and live a happier life.”
Since birth, Divya Patil, a 6-year-old girl from Belgaum, Karnataka, has been living with a rare and challenging condition, arthrogryposis with bilateral vertical talus deformity and bilateral wrist and hand contractures. While other children her age run and play freely, Divya has struggled with restricted movement, making even simple daily activities difficult.
