Though confined to wheelchair with brittle bone disease, Latheesha instilled hope in many with her zest for life
No obstacle was big enough for to surmount. Multiple health issues since birth did not stop her from aiming higher and pursuing her dreams. Early on Wednesday, the 28-year-old succumbed to her illnesses, leaving behind a message of hope through her paintings and music. Ms. Ansari, a resident of Erumeli in Kottayam, was diagnosed with Osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease) at birth. She was confined to a wheelchair due to this. But the condition had not stopped her from pursuing her education. Refusing to go to a special school, she studied in a regular school and went on to complete her MCom. She had planned to appear for the Civil Services examination in 2018, when she was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension. Since then, she has mostly spent her days at home, as oxygen support was needed throughout.More Related News
