As a young girl, she lived with her family in a rented two-story building, modest yet full of life. The structure had both a ground floor and an upper level, and from one of the first-floor windows, there protruded a large, rectangular addition—built from bricks and cement, solid and imposing. It jutted out from the wall, seemingly stable.

One ordinary day, as she played outside, full of childhood wonder and unaware of the looming danger above, the unthinkable happened. That heavy structure, without warning, gave way and came crashing down. It struck her with full force.

The aftermath was life-altering. The injuries she sustained required the amputation of her leg, a tragic and painful turning point in her young life. Yet from that day forward, her journey became one not just of survival, but of strength, grace, and unwavering courage. She is 23 years old and currently in her Youth Corp Service

Gbadebo Ganiyat, a 51-year-old woman, found herself facing a difficult situation when she sustained an injury to her right toe. Upon seeking medical attention, doctors diagnosed gangrene resulting from complications of diabetes, necessitating the amputation of her leg up to the knee.

Navigating life post-amputation has been a challenge, particularly when it comes to transportation, especially in the bustling city of Lagos, especially for longer distances. Despite the obstacles, she perseveres, finding strength in her resilience to adapt to her new reality.

Her foot was lost following an unsuccessful operation. On her last visit to the doctor at Idi-Araba, LUTH General Hospital in Lagos, she was informed that to walk without pain, both legs would need to be amputated. Only then could she begin to walk with prosthetic limbs.

Financial constraints have posed a significant challenge. She lives with her single mother, who is responsible for four children, including her, without a strong source of income. With limited options, she often falls into depression but strives to see beyond the hardships. Despite these struggles, she has managed to graduate and acquire skills in hairdressing, fashion designing, and millinery.

However, the pain has become increasingly unbearable, making daily life difficult. She humbly appeals for assistance, expressing deep gratitude for any support that can help her obtain the necessary prosthetic limbs and alleviate her suffering. She also is required to have a re-amputation for her limb to be able to use a prosthetic leg.

She said that she had Ewing sarcoma, a type of bone cancer, and that the doctors at Igbobi Orthopedic Hospital advised her to have her leg amputated around June 20, 2024. She is 20years old , She is current undergoing chemotherapy.

She is a 37-year-old Chemical Engineer and widow from Lagos, Nigeria, said that she had her right leg disarticulated on May 5, 2023, due to Chondrosarcoma cancer.

She was born in 1986 and had an accident in 1996 while helping her mother at the market. She didn’t know the vehicle coming from behind had no brakes, and it hit her leg. She was told there was no solution for her leg, and that it would need to be amputated. The next day, her leg was amputated at Igbobi Hospital in Yaba. She also mentioned that she doesn’t have the money to buy an artificial leg because her business, selling school bags and clothes, is too small to afford it. She is asking for assistance to get an artificial leg and said she would be very grateful if anyone could help her. She lives in Lagos, is 38 years old, married, and has four children.

when she was five years old. She went to her friend’s house to play, and they all sat outside telling stories. There was no more space for her to sit, so she tried to sit on the nearest building blocks. Unfortunately, the blocks were weak, and as she was about to climb on them, they broke and fell on both legs, almost reaching her chest. Her right leg bone was broken into pieces. She wasn’t taken to a good hospital in time for the bones to be properly arranged; instead, she was taken to a quack doctor down the street. By the time she was taken to a good hospital, it was already too late to arrange the bones, so they had to amputate the leg to prevent further complications, including affecting other limbs or the heart.
Regarding how her life has been since then, she said that when the accident happened, she didn’t think much about how her life would be because she was very young. However, as she grew older, it became very tough to live with her condition, and she found life difficult. She often thought about what could have happened if she hadn’t gone to her friend’s house that day or if she had listened to her mother and stayed home. But over time, she realized that blaming herself wouldn’t change her situation, so she tried to embrace herself and do things that people thought she wouldn’t be able to do because of her condition. She aimed to be proud of herself and the person she was becoming. She keeps a positive mindset all the time which hasn’t been easy, as surviving was hard, but she is getting the hang of it.

The accident occurred at sea during a routine journey to supply items aboard a ship. A marine rope, in a tragic turn of events, severed the individual’s leg. Despite undergoing surgery, the damage was irreparable, leading to the necessity of amputation.

She is a 28-year-old woman, She recently became an amputee following a devastating car accident on June 2, 2024, while returning from church with her fiancé. The tragedy claimed the lives of her fiancé and three others, leaving her as the sole survivor.

The aftermath has been an overwhelming battle—physically, emotionally, and financially. Over 15 million naira has already been spent on her treatment, as she was on oxygen for over a month and placed on life support. Alongside losing her leg, she also suffered a head injury, and her remaining leg now bears an iron implant.

Yet, despite the pain and loss, she refuses to be defeated. Her greatest wish is to walk and work again, but she cannot afford a prosthetic leg. She reaches out with determination, seeking help to regain her mobility, to reclaim the life she dreams of, and to continue pursuing her goals. With resilience in her heart, she pleads for support—so she can truly be herself again.

Her story began when she was just a young girl in primary six. It started with an unusual swelling in her left leg, accompanied by an unbearable itching sensation from within. Worried and desperate for a solution, her parents took her from one herbalist to another, hoping to find a cure. But no remedy worked. The mysterious condition not only brought her pain but also shattered her dreams of furthering her education. Instead, she turned to hairdressing, determined to make something of herself despite her struggles.

Years passed, but the nightmare was far from over. Her leg began developing painful lumps, oozing pus, and making everyday life unbearable. Seeking proper medical help, she went to a hospital in Ikeja, where she was later referred to General Hospital Lagos Island, and eventually to the National Orthopedic Hospital in Igbobi, Lagos. It was there that doctors diagnosed her with an infection called “ODEMA.” They recommended a skin graft, and with hope in her heart, she agreed to the procedure.

But fate was cruel. Three years later, the same symptoms returned—more lumps, more pain, more suffering. She underwent another skin graft at Igbobi, but once again, the relief was short-lived. After enduring two failed operations and years of relentless agony, she made the heartbreaking decision to ask the doctors to amputate her leg. It was the only way to end the cycle of pain.

Life after the amputation was anything but easy. With an artificial leg, she faced unimaginable challenges, especially after losing her husband 20 years ago. Left alone with four daughters, she was rejected by her husband’s family because of her condition. But she refused to give up. With resilience and unwavering strength, she took her skill in hairdressing to the market, working tirelessly to provide for herself and her children. Despite everything, she continued to push forward, determined to survive against all odds.

She is 56 year old woman who suffers from diabetics and developed a diabetic ulcer. This led to complications that led to the amputation of her leg. Life after amputation has been very difficult and needs help to take car of herself and her family.

She recounted the tragic events that led to her amputation, a moment that changed her life forever. It was December 27th, 2018—a day she would never forget. The accident was devastating, so severe that all five bone in her right foot were immediately damaged beyond repair. In that instant, everything she had known was torn away.

Since then, life had been anything but easy. The simple joys of living a normal life became an uphill battle, filled with challenges she never imagined facing. Yet, through it all, she carried the weight of her experience with quiet strength, trying to find a way forward in a world that suddenly felt so different. She is married with Children.

The loss was not just of a limb but of the life she once knew. Yet, despite the struggles, she found herself learning to navigate this new existence with courage, determined to keep moving forward even when the road ahead seemed uncertain.

A tragic accident has left a mother and daughter in desperate need of help. The devastating incident resulted in both of them losing their left legs, drastically altering their lives in an instant. Now, they face an uphill battle, struggling to regain their mobility and independence.

Their family has done everything possible to ensure they receive proper medical care. After exhausting all available resources at the University College Hospital (UCH) in Ibadan, the only thing standing between them and recovery is the provision of prosthetic legs. Unfortunately, the cost is far beyond what they can afford.

Recognizing the incredible work that I S H Prosthesis has done in the field of prosthetics, their loved ones have reached out with a heartfelt plea for assistance. They believe that with the right support, this mother and daughter can reclaim their lives and overcome the immense challenges they now face.

The financial strain has been overwhelming, and without external help, the dream of walking again seems out of reach. This family is now relying on the kindness and generosity of others to help provide the artificial limbs that will restore not just their mobility, but also their sense of hope.

Any form of support—whether financial or material—would make an immeasurable difference. As they wait for a miracle, they hold on to faith that humanity’s compassion will shine through in their time of greatest need.

She had a devastating accident in 2015, just eight days before she was expected to give birth. What should have been a time of joy turned into unimaginable sorrow—she lost both her baby and her limb below the knee, in the tragedy.

Despite the immense pain and challenges that followed, she refused to give up. A trained tailor, she continued to pursue her craft, working diligently with a leg-operated sewing machine. However, she longed for more—a proper shop and an industrial sewing machine that would allow her to expand her work and secure a stable future. Her struggles were further compounded by her husband’s situation. Though a skilled professional, he remained unemployed, adding to the weight of their financial burden. Yet, in the face of hardship, she held on to hope, determined to rebuild her life, one stitch at a time

Her journey is one marked by both tragedy and unshakable resolve. Born on April 20, 1993, in Lagos, she was the eldest of five children and the only daughter in her family. Her life took a devastating turn on August 3, 2014, at just 21 years old. While traveling from Nnewi to Abagana to begin her studies at the Open University, the bus she was in collided with a tipper truck. Sandra, seated in the front, was left unconscious and woke up in an emergency ward—only to discover she was the sole survivor of the accident.

The wreckage of that day extended beyond the physical. Sandra lost her unborn child, had her left leg amputated below the knee, and saw her dreams of education and marriage put on pause. Her fiancé, once a source of hope, gradually disappeared from her life. Left emotionally and physically shattered, Sandra faced immense grief and abandonment. Yet, her family became her anchor, giving her the courage to press forward even amid financial challenges and emotional strain. Learning to walk again with crutches, she began the long road to healing.

Today, Sandra embodies what it means to rise from ashes. She is in her final year at Lagos State University, studying Educational Management, and dreams of pursuing a master’s degree. Her journey is not just one of survival but of triumph over pain, disappointment, and loss. Sandra’s story reminds us that even when life takes everything, faith, love, and determination can build something new—something beautiful.

life changed forever on September 28, 2004—the day of her accident. She had been just 13 years old, and the tragedy happened right in front of her father’s house on Capitol Road, Agege.

She didn’t remember much from that moment. Bystanders had rushed her to the General Hospital in Ikeja, but she was unconscious, unaware of the chaos and fear surrounding her. For three long days, she lay motionless, while some had already assumed the worst. But then, against all odds, she woke up.

It was then that she learned the devastating news—her left leg had been severely damaged, beyond repair. The doctors told her family that the only way to save her life was through amputation. Her mother, faced with an impossible choice, agreed. If losing a limb meant keeping her daughter alive, then so be it.

Since then, Rofiat has lived with an artificial leg, adapting to a new reality. For years, she sourced her prosthetic limb from a company on Carper Avenue in Pangroufh, but during the COVID-19 pandemic, the company shut down. Ever since then, she has been without a proper replacement, making everyday life increasingly difficult.

Now, she finds herself in urgent need of a new artificial leg. With nowhere else to turn, she humbly pleads for help—hoping that someone, somewhere, will hear her story and give her the chance to walk comfortably again.

She is married and a mother of 3 children.

She had only gone to check on her mother that day, never imagining how drastically her life was about to change.

As she stood at the front of a bus, waiting to cross the road, she noticed a tricycle ahead of her. Assuming it was about to move, she prepared to make her way across. But then, in an instant, everything took a terrifying turn.

A trailer was approaching fast, and instead of simply passing by, it suddenly swerved—deliberately targeting the tricycle. What should have been just a lesson for the tricycle driver became a nightmare for her. In one cruel moment, the massive vehicle crashed into both the tricycle and her, leaving destruction in its wake. That was how she lost her leg.

Now, she struggles with the aftermath, relying on a walking stick that offers little comfort. Each step is a challenge, a painful reminder of what was taken from her. She pleads for help, for the chance to walk again with ease, to regain even a small piece of the life she once knew.

Her life changed in an instant on March 14, 2014. A bright young student in J.S.S. 2, she was returning home from school with her brother and a friend when a vehicle lost control and crushed her leg. The horror of the accident left her brother frozen with shock, and the agony she endured was unimaginable. Though a family friend quickly tried to get help, and despite being rushed through a series of hospitals, Abiola’s injury proved too severe. Multiple delays and complications meant that her leg could not be saved, and after several painful and uncertain days, her parents were forced to make the heartbreaking decision to amputate.

The amputation marked the beginning of a long, grueling journey. Despite assurances that her wound would heal in a month, Abiola faced a string of disappointments. She underwent five additional surgeries, and the wound remained open for years. Bedridden for eight months, she was eventually discharged, with no further options from the doctors. But Abiola, in an act of sheer courage, began treating her wound on her own. With a fierce will to live beyond her pain, she returned to school, completed her secondary education, and learned a trade—even while carrying a persistent wound on her thumb that reminded her daily of her suffering.

Undeterred by her physical challenges, Abiola pressed forward into higher education, gaining admission to Crestfield College of Education in Osun State. Miraculously, it wasn’t until her second semester that the wound finally closed—six years after the accident. Today, she dreams of regaining her full independence with the help of a prosthetic limb. Reaching out to the Feet of Grace Foundation and other kind souls, Abiola continues to hope, pray, and believe that her story is not over. She longs not just to walk again, but to thrive—and to show the world that strength and grace can rise even from the deepest pain.
