Norah's Story

Hi, my name is Norah from Saudi Arabia, I experienced a stroke when I was 17 due to AVM, which affected the left side of my body, especially my left hand.

The journey wasn't easy, as this event changed my life completely and nobody understands EXCEPT mom❤

But I believe this experience has taught me a lot as well as I met wonderful people that I wouldn't have met without this experience! Like the Young Survivors Community, It's really cool to meet people who have shared experiences.

I'm really proud of myself that I didn't let the stroke stop my life. This journey has been tough, but it's also shown me my own strength.
