This 19-year-old girl named Beandri Booysen lost her life due to a very rare and incurable disease.

Booysen suffered from Progeria Syndrome, which causes premature aging in individuals and bone deterioration. Globally, there are only 200 cases of this deadly condition.

The disease caused the 19-year-old’s body to age eight years within a single year of life. Her parents, Bea and Pieter, did not expect their daughter to live beyond 14 years, but she managed to hold on until the very end.

Beandri was active on social media, where she often shared videos of her life. In this way, she had managed to gather many followers who offered her support. Two months ago, her body weight dropped to 12 kg as she underwent heart surgery.

It was her mother who delivered the heartbreaking news to her followers, writing: “Beandri is known for her fiery personality and laughter that touched everyone, becoming a symbol of resilience against the disease for other children as well!”
