A WOMAN born with no limbs hasn’t let her condition affect her independence, as she is able to cook, write, photograph and even sew. Amy Brooks from Pittsburgh, USA, was born with Congenital Tetraphocomelia, a birth defect that affects all four limbs. The 37-year-old told Barcroft TV: “I obviously have to do things a lot differently than someone who is completely able-bodied but I’m able to do things just in a different way.” Follow Amy's channel here: / crozb87

I love u young lady.in my.happy prayers
It ALWAYS starts with a GREAT MOTHER....telling their child that they can do ANYTHING!❤️
And father. A father is just as important in a child’s life.
IT ALWAYS STARTS WITH A GREAT LOVING FAMILY WHICH I NEVER HAD TILL TODAY I'M SO JEALOUS OF HER
Infatti
Imagine the backlash if someone said it was all about the father. Sexism is not dead, it just reversed itself.
definitely. a good mama is the biggest blessing.
Her adoptive mom is amazing! She is so inspiring!
true but too tall and limps to long..
I just want to acknowledge just how wonderful her parents are! Incredible! ❤
While your comment is coming from a good place, people with adopted parents actually dont like seeing people praising their parents for taking them in. It implies they were going above and beyond to take them in and they are just a burden. Speaking from experience as my partners parents adopted a young girl from Thailand with cerebral palsy.
@@SirSpinalColumnI believe you misunderstood the original comment. The parents deserve praise because of the love they have for their daughter. There are many able bodied individuals that have their lives damaged because the parents are incapable of truly loving them. Parental love is essential for any child to grow up whole.
@@SirSpinalColumn adopted or not, her parents did a fantastic job of raising her be the confident and capable woman she is.
I wasn’t praising her parents for adopting her, anyone can do that; I praise her parents for their parenting.
@rabidL3M0NS:
They didn't mentioned anything about the adoption, only that the parents are good parents. 🤷🏼♀️
Fantastic person along with her Foster parents
What a beautiful woman, and wow, what a wonderful family she was adopted in to!!
"I was born this way for a reason." -- Probably the most inspirational thing I've heard in a while. Thank you so much for that. As a disabled person I often have negative thoughts due to my disability. I gain peace of mind when I realize there's nothing wrong with me; I'm different for a very good reason.
gyllespie 😄😄😍😍👊💕👊
gylespie, You have the right attitude for your life, have a nice day.
you should be tough...
you are here for a reason
🙏🏽🙌🏽
💙💙
Who would leave this woman mean comments on social media? That’s just evil and ridiculous... she’s inspirational and seems like a very nice and humble person with a beautiful soul.. 😊
Unfortunately losers and inconsiderate assholes still exist these days.
People who feel so bad about themselves that they feel the need to try and bring down others to feel as low as they are.
Probably very. super. cool. teenagers who definitely don't suck
Sadly that's the world we leave in, some people are just mean and evil
Sonia lol ☺
Bings tears to my eyes how beautiful and humble this woman is, despite her condition. Well done lady for showing us all that one does not take things for granted in life, and thank you. Be blessed always.
This woman is unbelievable. Truly inspirational!
She is not inspirational
@kamarijarrett1047 Why? Because she doesn't see herself as a victim? I know being a victim is supposed to something great these days but being delt that hand in life and not whining and complaining about it is pretty remarkable
The smile she gave when she had climbed the stairs.... is priceless !!!!
This person is gorgeous.... literally my inspiration.
Here I am... Complaining about life. Meanwhile this woman does it all. Inspired!
Very true
No doubt.
it is a javi u r not complaining u r just mentioning ur good hun i am inspired
4 real. I'm with u
Negativity is always a reflection of the person giving it, not the person it is directed towards. Very inspiring and I'm grateful for your attitude and example!
What an amazing woman! It is incredible how some people never let the world stop them from accomplishing their dreams!
Bewunderswert
Young lady you are absolutely remarkable. Keep it up and God bless you.
She's probably more grateful for her shoulder nubs than most people are for their arms and hands. It's amazing just watching her brush her teeth. ❤️
I thought putting on mascara was more astonishing.
We needed this as a slap to our face everytime we complain ab life. Somebody out there is able to take her challanges to a whole different level. Respect!
When I developed severe arthritis that’s when I became grateful for my hands. when I have a good days and I’m able to use them I realize just how important hands are!
you are a kind, fighter who is a source of motivation for people to despair in life.
I fell in love with her. She is so humble, such a pure heart, a person of light, such a beautiful girl, a refreshing, such youthful energy. I like her fierce face/ strong bone structure. (Like in physiognomy. Something that makes people think about one's strong character, will ) A lovely combination to go with her feminine youthful energy. She reminded me of my school friend
Thank you so much for such an inspiring episode and for introducing us to Amy!!
NOT TRYING TO BE MEAN, BUT WHY NOT JOIN THE CIRCUS. MIGHT BE A GOOD WAY TO MAKE A LIVING. EVERYONE LOVES SEEING FREAKS AT THE CIRCUS!!
That sounded so weird
@@khanwebb172 It's you who is weird
@@Userkvlnk Haha I see...now I understand
@@khanwebb172 THAT SOUNDED SO UMADBRO?
There is no way to measure the amount of strength this woman has.
no need to be rude...
She's precious! Love her spirit. She's so tenacious. And she's beautiful too.
She and her parents are real heroes.
❤️🇨🇦
Then you'll have no problem proposing right?
Looks like she's has a wonderful mom & dad. And she turned out to be a wonderful person. Bless you're gentle soul...
Thats the key!! She cudda had terrible parents .... her sweet parents definitely made her the person she is today
An amazing human being with amazing foster parents who encouraged her to do anything she wanted.
You truly are an inspiration to all of us. I admire your inner strength and fortitude. Way to go.
What a beautiful lady inside and out, you are amazing keep happy god bless you from Marsha in York England xxx
Its fascinating how she manages to do so much things that may have seemed very hard to do like brushing her own teeth.
Ikr?? She is amazing.
360 Valon Typhoon or washing her hair?
She is truly amazing.
Amazing and wonderful woman! I have seen "The Terry Fox Story", and commented that I would rather die from cancer than lose a leg. See my comments under video. Bless her, she's amazing!
@@gordanazakula4927 Ok.
Roxan Ss bru I have 2 arms and hands and don't brush my teeth. I'm a disgrace , I mean I brush them sometimes .
She’s Beautiful inside and out!
i couldn't of said it better myself!
Certainly🙌💜
Ni
She really is!
I bet it's pretty and pink
I lost my right shoulder about 22 years ago at age 53. I have adapted and live a pretty full life but I am in awe of you and your fortitude. I will weather my short periods of frustration or feeling down thanks to the strength you display. Many folks admire my accomplishments because they don't know you.
I see a woman who took a "condition" that was deemed impossible and made it look relatively easy. I was amazed at what you can do. I can see why you are a motivational speaker! Thank you for sharing your life with us!
I can’t believe cruel people in this world would give you negative comments. You are truly an amazing woman!
An incredible woman, beautiful inside and out. Incredible parents too.
One time she was at the beach, and this hunk of a man walked up on her. She seen his bulge and told him to F her. So, he got down on his knees, bent down, picked her up, and threw her in the water.
@@clintonlied
Is that really true ...???
God bless u sester
@@luisstanker1491 don't believe everything you see and read, wow you're super gullible. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's sad, change it or you may be persuaded to do something like jump off a bridge because you heard one of your favourite actors did. Smdh
Thank you for lifting my heart today! So many mean people drowning in their own misery trying to take us down with them and then you come along and remind the rest of us that there is joy and wonder. Bless you!!
Absolutely stunning! I love to see this. My father was born with one arm and showed me at a young age, anything is possible. I cannot stand to see people say negative things to anyone who is different. You’re beautiful and wonderful and you’re inspiring. Keep doing what you’re doing. ❤
I'm sure your dad is a good man who has taught you many good things and you will have a happy life. I wish you and your dad a happy 2024!
What a beautiful strong woman I should never complain about anything
I'd hit it.
Amy is amazing but so are her adoptive parents
*parents. They’re just her parents. :)
Yer they are so amazing
She's pretty
She is so talented
Its great seeing doing well; have you found a friend that maybe if you want to be your husband; i saw woman with no arms she washed feed clothed and did everything with feed when her husband was at work may GOD; JESUS; and the HOLY SPIRIT fill your life day by day. Ronald
Thank you lady ! Fighting M/S 22 years and 95% mobility gone, YOU truly let me know how blessed I am ! Thank YOU !! 👍✌
What an incredible women. No matter what she never gives up, you have to respect that.
I do not see a disability...I see courage, strength, inspiration,and beauty, inside and out.
disability isn't a bad word!
It's a disability, and that's ok
Don't lie
then why you add disablity if you do not see ...
pervert
Seeing you makes me realize how extremely blessed all of us who were born with arms and legs are. If you who lack arms and legs are greatful, how much more should we be. Thanks for been an inspiration to all of us. I'll remember you if I'm ever tempted to complain about life.
.
Amen 🙌
„Also gut, einigen wir uns auf „unentschieden“
So inspiring. An amazing woman. She was very loved by her parents, so that probably helped her a lot to not only accept her challenges early on in life but also be that confident, grounded person she is.
You are a superhero! Those of us born with all four limbs should not complain that life is unfair. Thank you for sharing your super inspirational story!
She is beautiful, wonderful and inspiring. We can all learn from her.
She is wonderful inspiring women,
Think she leaves a slug trail when she's turned on?
THis woman have to be special. Jesus keeps her.
Anyone else suddenly feeling like the stuff you were stressing about actually isn't so bad or difficult to overcome afterall. What an amazingly strong & inspiring woman!!!
I am ashamed of myself after watching this video. I have zero reasons to complain. She is motivation enough
Really I like this woman video she doing everything really she is amazing woman ♥♥♥♥♥
whiskey mike yes I'm agree with you I know what you mean this woman fighting in this life I'm respect this lady so much ....♥♥♥
natasha tominski she is amazing and strong
@@kimmie965 yeah
“I don’t wish for legs or limbs, I was born this way for a purpose” powerful statement that people should take to heart in there own situation.
It is always AMAZING to see how people without limbs manage to survive and thrive despite what they are missing 👍💕...it is also AMAZING how parents can make a huge difference by believing their child CAN.
YOU GO GIRL , BEST WISHES
P.s. made me tear up ....thank you for sharing ✌
"the woman who birthed me" oof I felt that
Right
Dhhkbhuhu
That was deep
Human ability should never be taken for granted. Bless this phenomenal woman
Her mind is amazing, constantly figuring out how to do things without the limbs we take for granted. Respect.
I was truly inspired as I watched this video of Amy. Wow! I really appreciated your words you shared with a group of young people, " Because you too were born with a holy and divine purpose." What a powerful statement! As a Christian, I'm trying to live out that statement. You are truly a blessing to so many. Thank you for being so transparent and sharing your story. Yinz is amazing!
Crazy how she's 37 years old but looks like she's at least 10 years younger.
Raki Jr Being happy and without negativeness inside us is the youth fountain!
She is very courageous
she is looking like 10 years girl😂😂😂
Yeah she only looks 26
she looks 25
As a disabled girl, i was born with birth defect called Spina bifida . But I have learnt to do everything since i was little, yet sometimes i still have negative thinking because life is up amd down and I know you have gone through those stuff as well. You just choose to spread positive vibes and this inspires me a lot. You are so talented and beautiful . Thank you and stay blessed
Please don't be,i love u as how u r.
💖💝💖💝
All these people on here as I read their comments say it best ....your An Amazing Remarkable GORGEOUS LADY ...You put most of us to shame!!!
I am amazed at this young woman’s spirit and achievements. She has a very warm smile and looks like nothing will stop her. It’s humbling. Good luck to her.
I have no toes and chronic pain. inspiring video to not let handicaps stop our joys in life.
Eclipse 🐴🌻🌲🌞👊💕👊
Disabilities the preferred term
@@benblexbenblex you do realize that Eclipse has disabilities,right?and their preferred term is 'handicap",so stop with all the PC crap!
Just curious, i hope you don't mind me asking: which do you find more disabling: the lack of toes, or the constant pain?
A true inspiration for anyone who ever feels like giving up. She does more without her limbs than some do with their limbs
She does more without limbs than all of my neighbors do in their entire lives with limbs. All my neighbors do is sit around their houses 24/7 and on top of that non of them work, and their favorite place to be is the porch they're on it most of the time.
Her parents are very good people and She’s really inspirational
she had a great attitude about life..real role model
She's beautiful in and out wish her a success in this life. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Typical big brother! “I never felt bad for her” hahaha what a great family she has!
😍
😢😢😢hai
This evening I was tired and wanted to be inspired - so I watched your video. You are a great role model and truly inspirational! Amy, your are such a great contributor to make this World a better place! :)
I thought I was facing physical struggle but now I know I'm not. Thanks Amy, bless you and your incredible foster mum.
She is so beautiful inside and outside! She is so inspiring ❤️
She is ...🌈
She is amazing!
Inside and out, like you know her PERSONALLY. GTFOH already
Her Parents recognized the beauty of this person, Showed her the love she needed and it came back 100 fold. Now stand back and take some lessons from her!
You go girl! God bless you, your attitude and outlook is top shelf.
I'm 71 & have finally found my superhero!!!! Thank you Amy!!
What a beautiful person! So strong in many ways. Great parents
She looks pretty good for a girl that skips Leg Day at the gym.
Something about the moment when the adoptive mother proudly showed pictures of baby Amy at her swimming lessons, and the happy smile on Amy's face. It takes one angel to turn on a room full of lights in the life of a child. Amy, you are dynamite.
Congenital tetraphocomelia is challenging but you beat it Amy. You’re truly inspiring. Lots of love 💗
This lady is absolutely amazing, an inspiration to everyone. She reminded me of the saying about a man who felt sorry for himself because he had no shoes, then he saw a man who had no feet.Some may think she is handicapped, but i do not believe she is.A totally wonderful lady.
I just showed this to my 5 year old Granddaughter, and she was smiling the whole time. You are truly an inspiration!
She’s more organized than most people with legs and arms...
Maybe but she also doesn’t hv to take care of a family, pay all the bills, clean,yard wrk etc All she has to do is pretty much focus on the stuff she wants to do
JeAna Katherine r you hating lol
Ikr
Deus capacita seus filhos
Right
So amazing! She is so strong. I wish her the most luck in her future endeavors!
Amy, you are wonderful! Really, there is no word to better describe you and your accomplishments...I also like to watch Nick Vujicic...it's like you are brother and sister. Thanks :)
What a beautiful and sweet young lady. She is really special in so many ways.
Yeah she very special
Just to let you guys all know you are strong and beautiful and amazing no matter how you look❤️❤️❤️😘
Great message 💛
Dios Le a dado una bonita familia inteligencia y otras cosas bonitas valentía etcétera un abrazo
There's so much heart in everything that you do. Strength to you Amy!
You just changed my life and I have no words to express you my gratitute for being who you are. A true inspiration for anyone. Thanks again and God bless you.
I love these types of videos
So inspirational 💕
Aurelie Grace ya me too
You can say that again. They challenge me to stop complaining. If they can't complain then why do we?? We must always be grateful. God bless them who are facing challenges from birth or illness💕💕
One word disabled people just cringe at when we hear it is... You guessed it..."inspirational". Just stop. Our existence, should not make you feel inspired.
We can do anything like anybody else. We just have a different way of doing it.
@@gallimead its perseverance that inspires not existence.
Aurelie Grace keep growing
She is sooooooooooo brave and so talented I love her already ❤️❤️
🌹♥️👑
♥️♥️
Amy, You are a inspiration. Even to me a 80 year old with Multiple sclerosis. I don't let it get me down.
But sometimes it is good to listen to you because everyone needs a lift sometime in our life.
Thank you Amy from the bottom of my heart.
All the very best to you love.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, Ms Brooks just exudes beauty in all of its guises, tenacity, fortitude, determination... I could easily go on.
Ms Brooks you are inspirational and just about the perfect role model. You are easy on the eye as well.
I will complain less and just get up and do more despite my debilitating arthritis, you are a truly amazing person in all respects.
That foster Mum is amazing. I love women with vision and strength to carry it out. What a great story.❤️
fun_girl That woman deserves the title as her MOM she basically cared for her most of her life
Seeing how shes living her life is awesome. Great parents.
She is AMAZING! Her character skills are through the roof! Patience, focus, tenacity, bravery! She will have those gifts in her eternal spirit. Character is the Only thing you take with you. Definitely Angel status! 🥰🙏
What an amazing lady,I have disabilities but how inspiring is this beautiful lady that just goes full tilt at life .I'm very grateful for her to show what an amazing person she is .xx
Don't listen to negativity. You're awesome!!
We take everything for granted in this life 🙏
She is so inspirational ♥
Thank you 🌹
You are so positive you are so caring never forget it kid o
Exactly
Not everyone. Be more specific with your comments.
you are a very brave lady I had cancer.i am now cancer free but after see you I am lost for words not only are you a strong lady but you are all so a very nice looking woman.i have the up most respect for you and your family god bless you Mr mark
You are an inspiration to us all. When I get the poor old me, I just think of people like you and feel ashamed with myself.
She is a gem who deserves everyone's love, honour and admiration
Why?
I can't even sew or paint with arms and hands lol
Me either
I second that lol 🤷🏾♀️
Yessss lol
you are beautiful stay strong
Girl, mad respect, you are amazing!
Oh my gosh! You are so beautiful! Blessing to you for overcoming the challenges you face daily, it show how strong you are, internally and externally.
I just seen your channel. I've been disabled for year's now. But you have so much energy, beauty, and the light in you that shines. Dont ever worry about the nasty comments. Because they don't own you. They can't help themselves but to be rude.. Your beautiful. Jesus don't like ugly and rudeness in people..There is a reason your light is shining.. Maybe to help someone else, that is born with disabilities.. And they come across your channel , like I did..
Keep doing what you do Amy and THANK YOU sooooo much for sharing your life. The inspiration and encouragement you provide to the whole world is beyond measure. We can't thank you enough. Praying for your continued success in all that you want to accomplish. You have already done so much more than anyone with all the limbs. Virtual hugs and stay safe. God bless you!!!!!
She got her beautiful and amazing attitude from her adopted parents. Congratulations to both Amy and parents for being so inspiring.
Kudos to the wonderful parents for raising such an inspirational woman xxx
You are an incredible inspiration to us all. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us all, and thank you to your parents for their support and motivation. I am also where I am today because of my adoptive Mother's support too. I am a very fortunate Thalidomide birth, also born different.
She's kind, caring, thoughtful, happy, ambitious, and beautiful. She is perfect and the world could use more people like Amy.
I could fall in love with this girl. Beautiful and super creative.
I am in awe of your positivity and accomplished independence. I believe there is nothing you can't do,including being an inspiration to us all.
She's so much gorgeous. I love her smile.
& she still looks good 🤷🏾♂️

I'm complaining and I have a right to complain about anything I choose
I am so moved with your video! You are such an amazing force! Thank you!
