The man with elephant sized legs - born different

The man with elephant sized legs - born different

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Rickshaw driver Chand, 42, from Shadnagar, India, has a condition called Filariasis, which has caused his legs to swell up to elephant-like proportions. Filariasis is an infectious tropical disease caused by thread-like parasitic worms, often transmitted through a mosquito bite. Chand-s swollen legs make it difficult for him to carry out basic domestic tasks and led his wife and children to leave him. However, he is still able to earn a living - with the help of his trusty rickshaw, ferrying loyal passengers around his home town each day. Chand dreams of one day owning his own rickshaw and getting surgery that will enable him to live a regular life

Gofundme isn't available in India. There must be a similar service in India. The llink needs to be pinned. I'm disgusted that the production company have not helped him or made an account that we can donate to. This is the first time I have been sickened by one of these videos. Not because the way he looks but because of the way he has been used to generate income and is getting nothing for himself.

I was shocked and saddened that this wasn't a case of being born different but something he's had to get used to as a healthy adult. Its very inspiring that even though his wife gave up on him he gets on with it as best he can and hasn't given up on himself!
reply

I can't believe his wife left him and took his kids I feel so bad for him because I know hes in pain but athletes he is doing some work and earning some money I hope that he can do the surgery so you can feel better about himself and be able to do more
reply

So how can we help him? He agreed to do this interview in order to spray the word and receive help not for attention or gain visibility on a TikTok account about proud disability like we often see in your videos
reply

I feel so sad for this man
I mean look at his condition and still he wants to live a normal life
A few people can accept this thing
I hope he gets back his normal life again
Salute to Chand

this is the kind of person I'd donate to on something like gofundme. not some meaningless 1st world country piece of human trash -uNAble tO AffOrD wISdoM tOotH reMoVAl hurr durr-.
reply

I feel so bad for him. I hope the film makers who make soooooo much money off of filming these people actually help him out financially. This broke my heart
reply

The mosquito is the single most deadliest animal in the world! I hate mosquitoes with a passion. I feel so sorry for this guy. I wish him the best! Prayers up.
reply

It's times like this that I wish I could win the lottery. I would buy this guy a rickshaw so fast. How sad that his wife and kids left him. Prayers.
reply

So treatment is available but the producers didn-t help him? This feels like he is being exploited/filmed for $$$ with no benefit for him, Truly.
reply

How sad to be living with this condition and to top it off his wife and kids left him. Praying that he gets treatment for a better quality of life.
reply

This can be cured, or at least help destroy the parasites. Not positive, but I believe the medicine is cheap. But he will also need surgery.
reply

Tarragon basil herb on food Pomagranate juice to drink to get rid of worms. You also could put fig leaf on affected area it will dry it up.
reply

Does Truly actually compensate or assist the people in these videos in any way? Or is this just modern -freak show- type exploitation?
reply

There needs to be a go fund me for this guy. I-d do it but I don-t know how. Imma find out if e-mailing Truly would get the ball rolling.
reply

This is india where a disabled person also doesn't get proper help from government he is still working in such harsh conditions.
reply

Oh poor guy. I hope he gets the help he needs to be able to live better, start a new life and go out with his friends.
reply

Better I guess than tumors all over the face and head. may he persevere and find better tomorrows, I hope.
reply

Be glad that she left you don't need people like that in your life. True colors always will reveal in bad times.
reply

I'm sorry for misunderstanding but does it mean his legs are full of larvae and worms? It must be so painful
reply

It's crazy how a mosquito bite can cause this. Also unfortunate that the man had to live with this condition. Sad.
reply

It would-ve been helpful to include a link or something so people like myself can donate towards his treatment!
reply

The English translation is misleading
He is saying I don't wife or kids
Translation
My wife left me

reply

I feel so sorry and saddened after this guys story,
I just hope he'll be able to live normal ly very soon

reply

HE WASN'T ''BORN DIFFERENT'' it was after a mosquito bit him. its unreal how his wife and kids deserted him.
reply

Can a GoFundMe be made for him? If so, that would help him get contributions for his surgery and rickshaw.
reply

-Truly- can easily buy him his own rikschaw with the money they-re making from our views of this video.
