I Lost My Leg At 2 - Now I'm A Ballerina | SHAKE MY BEAUTY

SUBSCRIBE to Truly: bit.ly/Oc61Hj
A DETERMINED teenager has taken to ballet despite losing her leg in a horrific bus crash at the age of two. Pollyanna Hope, now 15, sustained critical injuries when struck by a bus back in 2007. The crash took her grandmother’s life and seriously injured her mother who were together with Pollyanna at the time of the accident. As a result, Pollyanna underwent 14 surgeries at that time and was required to have her right leg amputated below the knee. But the resilient teenager, from Hertfordshire, didn’t let that get in her way and has pursued her dreams of being a top ballet dancer. The family’s tragedy led Pollyanna’s mum, Sarah Hope, to fight for NHS funding for children's prosthetics. Sarah together with her sister have founded Elizabeth’s Legacy of Hope - a charity that helps some of the most vulnerable child amputees in the world.

The examinator that gave her a low score is cruel because how the hell can she point her foot if she doesn't have a foot

Some people just don’t take “no” for an answer from life and that’s so inspiring

[@vickirosstudor490]

Well put. Your comment in itself is inspiring.

[@JewelsView]

@@vickirosstudor490 awe that makes me happy you thought that was inspiring 😭

[@pollyannahope5384]

thank you

Let's take a moment to appreciate the mom. "I thought that was very unfair indeed! So, I started a campaign and now all the little amputee children in the country can have running blades. " Straight boss.

[@ivykey6361]

I especially like that she not only raised money for her daughter, but she made sure every child has this opportunity

[@simonesamuels9863]

Can someone clear something up for me ??? The accident happened in 2017 ( she was 2) that was 3 years ago how is she only 5 right now ??? Her story is beautiful but the age is confusing me

All 3 of these ladies are just incredible. Mum, Pollyanna & Sapphire all seem to be the most kind, genuine, strong & beautiful people you could ever hope to come across. I love stories of kindness, strength & perseverance like this.

*I really like this kind of stories. This is what body positivity movement should be!*

[@sophian9105]

It is? It’s about accepting bodies that don’t fit the mainstream definition of beauty. Thus, if would fall into the movement.

[@adararelgnel2695]

Yes ofcourse. Body positivity is different than fat acceptance though

[@sophian9105]

[@KCsFunHouse]

What a beautiful way to bring such greatness to the world after such a devastating tragedy! Pollyanna is the strong woman she is because of her mother and grandmother. I would love to see her do cirque de soli or with the Rockettes because she’s here to do big things in this world and that would be a hell of a barrier to see her break down

[@pollyannahope5384]

a lot of it

[@couponlangley14]

Why isn't the city paying for anything she needs ?

[@crystalortega2156]

It’s not that. It’s like what the mother said. Somethings they consider necessity and somethings they don’t. Since she had a prosthetic leg, they didn’t feel she needed a blade. As a mother with a disabled child, the government does the minimum they have to do. the parents have to push for it like her mother did. If u push, u get results. But if u don’t do nothing, they won’t help.

[@mathildewesendonck7225]

I think what she means is that the city was kind of responsible for Pollyannas accident
