"I used to face a lot of difficulties without my hand. When I was younger, my classmates used to tease me for not having a hand. I even avoided going to public places. Now, they will have nothing to say," she added.
She even urged people to donate organs and improve other people`s lives. "Right now, I am the happiest person on earth. We were searching for a hand for her since the last five years. However, doctors said that she can be operated only after turning 18. On January 10, she turned 18 and was registered for the transplant," said Shenaaz Mansoori, Samya`s mother.
"Six days back we received a call about the availability of the hand. The took place on Monday, January 30," she added.
