Man With No Limbs
Shared By Mark Flippo
But as Nick’s pre-teen suicide attempt shows, life was sometimes a struggle growing up as someone with tetra-amelia syndrome. At school, for example, he was often picked on for being different, something that it was hard for him not to take to heart. “When you’re growing up in life, it actually sort of matters to people how you look,” he has said. “And then it matters to you.” The schoolboy battled with depression from the age of eight, even going so far as that suicide attempt at the age of ten. He has singled out both the support of his parents and his strong Christian faith as the reasons why he is still here today. When you don’t get a miracle, you can be a miracle for someone else.”
With his foot, he has learned to write, play a drum machine, communicate in sign language and type at a speed of 43 words a minute. Meanwhile, using his teeth he can pop open a can of soda. Nearly 33 years ago, Nick Vujicic stunned both his parents and doctors when he arrived into the world without any arms or legs. Even today, nobody has yet been able to explain why the Australian developed the exceptionally rare condition known as tetra-amelia syndrome.
He is so inspiring! This is the right message for this time!
