Zuly Sanguino  is my little sister, Zuly is  24 year old , she is a mouth painter  and a motivational speaker in Colombia . She and my family live in one of the most dangerous and poorest neighborhoods in the city of Bogota, as you can see in the video made by National Geographic.
Zuly lives in a rented house in very difficult conditions for their physical needs, She was born without arms and legs, due to a birth condition known as phocomelia.





When my mom ,  was recovering from childbirth, the doctors told her Zuly was born without arms and legs; and my mom would have to settle for seeing my sister lying all the time, until God have mercy on her.

Adapt to a normal life was very difcult, my mom recovered from the news after a week, but then she thought and realized that  my sister  had come to this world for some reason and she could understand that her mission was to help her little baby to find her purpose in life .
When  Zuly was 1 years old , her father couldn’t carry on the sadness at seeing her daughter in that condition, so he decided to suicide. My mom Guillermina was the only support for us  , and thanks to my mom , she learned to be independent and even learned to paint with her mouth.
But before achieving who she is now, she suffered bullying at school where they forced zuly to go up  5 floors of stairs on her elbows, however  the bullying and  her father's suicide did not  surpassed  that Zuly  lived at the age of 7 years old, zuly was just a  little  girl when she was  raped, that act reinforced her desire for suicide.
For those reasons and many more Zuly attempted to kill herself   many times.
Also Zuly was living for many years  without a wheelchair, because my mom did not have money to buy it,  zuly learned how to walk on the floor or sometimes somebody help  to carry her in his arms as a baby, zuly thought that life did not have a  purpose for her.

Today ,  my sister Zuly Sanguino is a beautiful, talented visual artist who paints with her mouth , and a speaker who despite her young age , she has given countless motivational talks on all kinds of businesses, schools , prisons and associations in Colombia.
Now i am asking  for donations for my sister to make her dream come true. Her beautiful dream is to come over to USA to keep working with her motivational speeches and art to help people who fall into depression etc. 
So please help my sister to make this dream como true...
people who wants to make donation to help zuly and my mom to pay for the expenses of getting the visas, pay for the airplanes  tickets ,food , hotels etc.. to como to USA...God bless you,  God bless everybody.
