Girl Born without a face

I saw this and my heart broke to see this little girl born with such a deformity and may have to live the rest of her life looking weird.

So many questions are running across to my mind, what did this girl do to deserve this type of life? Could it be that in her previous life (i.e if there is anything like that) she poured acid on someone else face and now its payback time? Or could it be that her parents offended God? but if that's the case, why should an innocent person pay for someone else offense? or could it be that this is just the life designed for her to live, if that's the case, its not fair, no one deserves to be born this way.

I pray she finds happiness and love everywhere she goes, AMEN.
