Destiny Moor is a lovely flower from San Jose City, Nueva Ecija within the Philippines. Like many children born with unique features, she was sheltered as a child. But Destiny's father planted the seeds of independence in her toddler-developing mind. Destiny came into this world as an amputee - she developed in the womb with a half of a right leg. She has a right knee without the lower part of the leg. Also, some of her fingers formed in a unique way.

Congenital Amputation
Definition
Congenital amputation is the absence of a fetal limb or fetal part at birth. This condition may be the result of the constriction of fibrous bands within the membrane that surrounds the developing fetus (amniotic band syndrome) or the exposure to substances known to cause birth defects (teratogenic agents). Other factors, including genetics, may also play a role.
