Nicholas James Vujicic was born on 4th December 1982 in a Serbian family in Melbourne, Australia. He is a preacher, and the Director of Life without Limbs, a non-profit Christian organization. He had no arms and legs but with two small feet and one of his feet had two toes.


Due to his disability, Vujicic used to get bullied at the school which led him to think about committing suicide. One day his mother showed him an article about a man coping up with a similar disability. This became a turning point in his life as he realized that there are many others like him who are struggling hard but haven't given up hope. Vujicic then started giving motivational speeches and founded a non-profit organisation called "Life Without Limbs".
