The love and triumph story of Nick Vujicic has been inspiring millions of people all around the world for years.

Nick Vujicic is a famous motivational speaker of Serbian origin. He was born with tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare condition characterized by a failure in embryonic development, leading to the absence of legs and arms.

From a young age, Vujicic had to face all sorts of challenges. He was the first disabled student allowed to attend a regular school in Australia. Despite being different from his peers, he never gave up and embraced his unique appearance. His father used to tell him, “You are a gift, just wrapped differently.”

Over time, he learned to write using the two toes on his left foot with the help of a special device. He also learned to use a computer, comb his hair, brush his teeth, answer the phone, shave, and everything else.

At the age of seventeen, Vujicic started giving speeches in his prayer group and founded his organization, Life Without Limbs. It was after one of his talks that his life changed completely. In 2010, following one of his presentations, he met Kanae, the love of his life.

Nick and Kanae got married in 2012 and together built a beautiful family. In 2013, they had their first son, Kiyoshi James, in 2015 their second son, Dejan Levi, and in 2017, the couple was surprised by the arrival of twins, Ellie Laurel and Olivia Mei.
