He was born with “Tetra – Amelia Syndrome”, a rare disorder characterized by the absence of arms and legs.

After he was born his mother refused to see him or hold him when the nurse held him in front of her, but eventually she accepted the condition and understood it as “God’s plan for her son”.

After undergoing an operation, Nick has two small and deformed feet, one of which he calls his “chicken drumstick” because of its shape.
