As far as I can tell, at the time this video was made, Jessica was born in 1985, and was 17 when this video was made.
She should now be 23. I have tried to find her on the internet, so I
can write her story, but have been unable to locate her.

the world. I'm trying to connect with Jessica so I can
write more of her story; if anyone can help me find her, I would be most
grateful. Please click here to contact me. Thanks, Susan)
I found two videos about Barbara on YouTube; this is the second and I
believe the most recent.

Stacey McInroe Conner didn’t like to be called amazing, but by all accounts she was an incredible young woman.
Despite the fact that she was born without arms, she lived a full,
interesting and independent life, which included driving, horseback
riding, and attending university. She was a self-less volunteer who was
deeply committed to helping child amputees.
Stacey died as a result of an accident on May 24, 1990, shortly before her 23rd birthday.
Read more about her story as told in two tributes paid to her by her friends Bill and Joyce Baughn.
The link to this video came to me originally from Mrs. Ali of Dubai; she is a member of the AWR community.
As I don't understand either Mandarin or Cantonese Chinese, I asked my
new Taiwanese friend Vincent to translate this woman's name for me; he
said the English version would sound something like Jen Jimmi. If
anyone can help me any further with this woman's story, I would be
happy to have the information.
