Eman Ahmed is known as the world's heaviest woman. She lives in Egypt and she weighs 1,102 pounds. Ahmed explained how she never enjoyed her life as a child or as an adult. She has been battling her illness for 35 years. Because of this illness, she has not left her bedroom for over two decades. She is not able to move or even talk, so her family does everything for her most of the time. Two years ago she had a severe stroke and it caused her to loose her speech and mobility. The last couple of years have been very tough for her and her family, but because of social media, she might have a chance at experiencing life. Someone reached out to Dr. Muffi Lakdawala, who is a surgeon. The plan is to hopefully be able to fly Eman to India to get a procedure that will bring her weight down to under 230 pounds. I really do hope that they raise the money to be able to get Eman to India, and get her the surgery that she needs to be able to live her life to the fullest, and feel beautiful for who she is. I really do appreciate people like her family for having enough love and kindness to take care of her the way that they have been for the past few years.
