Over the years, she has undergone 130 surgeries to have her lesions removed, and sadly, she ended up with a part of her nose and her lower lip removed.

“When I expose myself to the sun it doesn’t happen in the moment, I don’t feel anything. However, in the future, the lesions appear and need to be removed because of cancer,” she says. Sadly, her condition, which is “one in a million” is incurable.

Today, however, despite her condition, Karine was able to find love in a man named Edmilson whom she met through social media and married recently. The two welcomed a baby daughter together and he accepted her three children from her previous relationship as his own.

Karine is happy she found her happy ending. “He came and he showed me that I could live a true love story,” she said.

Sadly, she still faces mean comments and people calling her names and accusing her of being her husband’s ‘sugar mommy.’

”We have already read many offensive comments calling me a monster, deformed, a zombie,” Karine said, as per the Daily Mail. ”Because of the fact he’s a young man and pretty, that caught people’s attention and they didn’t believe that he was with me because he really liked me,” she added.

The photographer who took the couple’s engagement photographs shared a series of images with the caption:

”In a world where appearance matters more than the feeling, they met not by chance, but by a gathering of souls, an encounter of acceptance and character and love emerged when their souls met and today you are the inspiration to so many people who do not believe in themselves, in life and especially in love.
