Prepare to be moved by the incredible determination of a 3-year-old girl.

A video posted by a Russian woman, Elmirа Kutzen, showcasing her young daughter’s ability to feed herself using her feet has garnered over 57 million views in just one week.

The video features young Vasiliya, who was born without arms, skillfully maneuvering her fork between her toes to bring food to her mouth. After an initial struggle, she adjusts the position of the fork with careful foot movements and successfully takes a bite on her second attempt.

The 18-second video has received worldwide acclaim and heartfelt well-wishes for Vasiliya and her parents. Michel Mertes from Brussels wrote, “Much encouragement to her and her parents.” Others described the video as amazing and inspiring, with Geraldie O’Rega adding, “What an inspiring kid.” Many commenters were prompted to reflect on their own lives and the value of gratitude for what they have after witnessing Vasiliya’s remarkable determination.

The video serves as a reminder for people to appreciate the blessings in their lives and to stop complaining about trivial matters. It urges individuals to seek strength from within and overcome the obstacles they face. As Rik Storgis, a resident of Topeka, Kansas, said, “You think that your life is full of problems and obstacles. Think carefully and ask God for the strength to overcome the obstacles in your life. Never lose heart. This little girl won’t do it.”

Vasiliya’s story has inspired many, motivating them to tackle their own challenges head-on and reminding them that limitations should never hinder the pursuit of their goals.
