A nine-year-old born without a hand got a special Princess Tiana bionic arm on a trip to Disney World.

Nathalie Ferreira, 35, found out she was pregnant with her daughter, Elisa Ynafante Ferreira, aged nine, in 2014.

During her pregnancy, a scan showed that Elisa was missing a hand and doctors wouldn't know if she was missing any other limbs until she was born.

Nathalie said she was scared throughout her pregnancy until Elisa was born on January 23, 2015 where she had no further defects.

Elisa learned to do everything with one hand but in May 2024 got a bionic arm.

In June 2024, Elisa was told she was going for a clinical check up.
