Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that a beautiful young woman called Mahogany Geter from Tennessee was born with a condition called lymphoedema that has caused her left leg to grow exponentially. Despite having a leg that weighs a whopping 45kg, Geter remains optimistic about her life and her condition.
In a recent interview, the young stunner explained how she had stopped socialising and felt truly alone like she was the only person in the world who was suffering from the unfortunate condition.
"Growing up, of course I was depressed. I pretty much felt like God had cursed me and I used to cry all the time," she said in a The Sun article.
Geters also reveals that trolls have tried to break her down by telling her to rather have the leg removed but their cruel comments are something she has learned to ignore, reports a You article.
She now spends her days educating and informing people about the condition. She also reveals that she is an inspiring model and has already accumulated almost 10k followers on Instagram where many of her followers shower her with support.
