There’s strong and then there’s Frida strong
Frida's story never fails to spark both fascination and empathy when shared. Frida's hope is to inspire people that no limitation is too much to keep from living a beautiful life.
Frida was found dragging herself through the streets of Chiang Mai, Thailand in 2018. She had a broken back, missing bones and flesh, incontinence, and hind leg paralysis . With the help of Elephant Nature Park, Derrick Campana from The Wizard of Paws TV show , and lots of love from her rescue family, she has learned to walk again.
