A woman born with just one full arm and leg who felt like an "outcast" has taken the modeling world by storm - appearing in Vogue and strutting the catwalk at London Fashion Week.
Jessica Ping-Wild, 25, was born with CHILD syndrome - an extremely rare genetic disorder that causes limb underdevelopment and inflamed skin with only 60 known cases worldwide.
It means she only had one full arm and leg which left her feeling like a "medical anomaly" as a child.
The condition left Jessica with a shortened left arm, and she is missing her leg on the left side of her body. She uses a prosthetic leg or a wheelchair but can move without both.
In her childhood and teenage years, Jessica said her condition made her feel like an "outcast" who "didn't have a place of belonging or anyone who understood."
Wow . That must have been incredibly tough for her growing up... but I'm glad to see she's overcome her disabilities, and is now pushing the boundaries in the field of modelling!
I wish her all the best with her work .
