A strong, brave, and beautiful young woman. A generous, amazing, and open hearted mother. I have a great deal of respect for both of these women. Thank you, sincerely, for sharing this story. ❤️
Truly heartbreaking the depth of the trauma Oksana had to endure in this disgusting and disturbing brothel disguised as an orphanage. Oh those poor babies, truly hurts my heart. Incredible story of tragedy, love, healing, and triumph. Thank you so much for bringing this beautiful story and humans into the world.
I never comment videos here on youtube, but this is a truly touching story. My admiration is yours ladies. The world needs more of your love, enthusiasm, persistance. Hope the best for you! Regards from Hungary! ❤️
Oksana... You are such a beautiful strong young woman... As a human I am so sorry for what tou went threw... I am so proud of you. Your mom is incredible too!!!! Keep going!!!! Love from Canada 🇨🇦!
This woman is far-by the most amazing one to have overcome all the hardships that she has experienced in her life. She is also definitely the top-notch most inspirational female in regards to what hardships in life truly are like the ones that she unfortunately experienced, but yet she went the extra mile and worked her way up to the US Paralympics from Adaptive Rowing to Biking and then Nordic Cross Country Skiing!!! I just finished reading her autobiography The Hard Parts as of last week and was touched so much by it in all of the past ten years of both hearing and knowing all what I know about her.🙂😉😓😢😥😞 Oksana, you are a truly amazing inspiration and role model for me and make feel very proud of you and all of your accomplishments that you have made as well as give me the confidence to not let any disappointments and shortcomings in life drag me down much less give up or lose hope after all that I have been through in my life dealing with Tourette Syndrome and High-functioning Autism, love you forever always, God bless you and hope to hear back from you eventually despite writing to you nine years ago, but I'm still praying!!!!😍 ❤ 😘 ♥ 💖 💕 As for you Ms. Gay Masters, you are an absolute humble and sincere woman to have went out of your way to adopt Oksana and bring her back to the US so that she could have a Mother as caring and loving like you as well as give her a whole new and way better life her regardless of her unfortunate circumstances between Tibial Hemimelia and becoming a prosthetic above-the-knee-amputee, you are true spirit, may the Lord bless you always ma'am!!!!!🙏 😊 ❤ ♥ 💖
I don't really follow rowing or nordic skiing that much, so never knew about Ms. Masters. Shame on me. Found this video by way of The Players' Tribune IG. Inspirational story. An amazing woman raised by an amazing woman.
This story is so inspiring. After a period in which I dealed with an episode of psychosis, I often feel discouraged and I focus on my problems without seeing what others have experienced. Thank you Oksana❤
I just watched you win another gold medal today. Congrats. The announcer said to go and find your story. Ive found 2. I am so happy that I did. The first thing I saw when I saw you was your smile. You have a beautiful smile and it shines even more when you speak of your mom. Keep that smile!!! Good luck in your future and thanks for sharing your story. My hope is that young girls and women never have to suffer but if they do I hope someone tells them of Oksana Masters!!!
Maybe one of these days we can meet each other in person?! Either way, I really admire and adore you in every way girl!!!! You're just an outright amazing individual who has accomplished so much in your life so far and are a terrific inspiration for anybody with challenges in life!!!!🥰😍😘😗😚😙🤗🙂❤💗💓💞💕👍👌👏🙌👐
exactly Oksana , i got so fed up with people saying the same stupid comment that i rather them just shut it and not say anything, when others commonly say "you are strong, you can fight and beat this" and exactly what you said , I am not strong , i am just living this life, and i personally do not call this living my life, i call it suffering my existence. showing up in a world i did not harm but harms me that i had no say in my existence if i even wanted to or not, and then forced to make a choice of who i want to be when i do not even know enough of all there is to even make an accurate assessment to know what and who to be and how much time do i have. why does this world want me dead, why am i being shut out of the kingdom if you will and forced to be a slave. what is wrong with some folk???!
A person can't just turn bad memories into good. They can only accept that. So don't practice gaslighting, saying that all the bad stuff was "amazing".
The first thing I saw of her was her face. Not the legs.
She inspires me, showing me what is possible. Incredible lady, thank you.
Zero pity. Pain for the trauma you've had to endure, but complete admiration for a powerful human. Beautiful. 🎉❤
A strong, brave, and beautiful young woman.
A generous, amazing, and open hearted mother.

Nagyon rendes sztori.
God is taking care of you and I love you too..
What an inspiration - both her mother and Oksana
Very good video! Thanks!
We love you!!!

the fact that she calls it a brothel when it’s 5-7 year olds is so sad… that’s a child sex ring, not a brothel😢
Heart breaking
❤
Oh, people can be so primitive and evil it is beyond my imagination.
Hola me gustaría saber si lo que dice se puede escuchar en español ,estoy muy interesado gracias
Iván, try Closed Caption. I think you can add Spanish subtitles
Did they try & go to Ukranian officials about this orphanage? I assume it’s closed down.
Go look up Ukraine is so corrupt it sells babies it’s a business and there is a lot of trafficking found even 60 minutes showed this
Bogisich Ranch
It breaks my heart to hear Oksana say her childhood was so ugly. That ugly childhood made her special today. It wasn’t ugly it was amazing.
A person can't just turn bad memories into good. They can only accept that. So don't practice gaslighting, saying that all the bad stuff was "amazing".
being raped daily from ages 5-7 was good? she has the right to hate her childhood.
