I Lost All My Limbs At 18 | SHAKE MY BEAUTY

A brave beauty vlogger fought her way back from the bacterial meningitis that caused her to lose 57% of her skin and required all four limbs to be amputated. Kaitlyn Dobrow, 25, from southern California, was a fit, active 18-year-old when she caught the terrifying illness which left her hospitalised for six months - where she underwent 22 surgeries. After going through the ordeal of rehab, Kaitlyn channelled her energies into make-up as one of the few things she felt she could still do with her prosthetics. Kaitlyn is now a successful beauty vlogger and disability rights advocate with 16 million views and 235,000 subscribers on YouTube and more than 132,000 followers on Instagram.
