This collection of pictures has some towards the end with the legs padded.

It looks like she hardly has any hips and pelvis -no wonder it has been so costly to get her some new legs, but I still can't believe it took so long to get her a wheelchair.

With her family being too poor to afford even that, I find it amazing that she was able to get such fantastic medical treatment after her accident that she survived -that's quite a drastic and surely pretty unusual amputation. I find it shocking that after she recovered from the surgery she was apparently returned to her family without any support -they came up with the basketball thing.

Good for her that she always seems happy. Children are so resilient and so brave without even knowing it.
