We’re The Sisters Born Without Arms | BORN DIFFERENT

SUBSCRIBE to Truly: bit.ly/Oc61Hj
SASSY SISTERS Teresa and Anna were born with similar congenital limb differences - they have both lived their entire lives without arms. Having each been adopted by their mum at a young age, who encouraged them to be fiercely independent, they grew up learning to use their feet as hands. Teresa told truly: "Anything I do is definitely centered around my limb difference because the world is not built for someone missing both their arms, so I'm constantly having to adapt." But Teresa has not had to navigate her situation alone - the sisters have grown up supporting each other, as Anna explained: "That is very valuable to have someone that I am close with who shares the same experience. We are truly the only ones who understand each other." Despite this, the pair have faced extreme judgement for their visible differences, something Teresa describes as feeling "like a walking zoo exhibit. It's frustrating because we don't want to be the centre of attention." She puts this down to a "lack of education" - something she has taken to social media to address. Posting videos demonstrating how she goes about everyday tasks such as getting dressed, eating and putting the bins out, Teresa is tackling the stigmas around physical disability head on. She has even teamed up with Anna on several videos to debunk common misconceptions they encounter day-to-day. And while trolls seek to drag the sisters down by dropping negativity in the comments section, Teresa has coined the term "arms are overrated" as a direct response to the hate and the pair are defiant in their belief that "there is power in difference." Their message to the world is simple: "We're just like everyone else - we may adapt and find other ways to do things, but in the end we're all human and we have so much in common."

I'll never understand how people can be nasty to someone who God designed. We have absolutely no choice in whether we're born disabled or not so why chastise someone over something they have no control over.

Best comment ever !!!!! They are soooo beautiful !!!😍😍😍😍💝💌

[@jocelynscott504]

The people who are mean and ugly are not able to overcome challenges, so be proud of your awesomeness!! ❤❤❤

[@stephanieh.777]

To the people who make rude comments, I pity them - they live in small and shrinking little worlds that will eventually backlash on them. Sowing and reaping must be a new concept for them... As for these sisters, they're beautiful and complete just the way they are!

[@mish6244]

You are both gorgeous and a inspirational to the world ❤❤❤❤god bless 🙌 you both.

[@mementomonsters]

Imagine if they start having sciatica pain😢 or a rolled ankle. Im so proud at how strong they are. Beautiful hearts 👾

[@oaktharas]

I don’t think they will😂 they don’t sit down for long

[@Nwladylaura369]

Don’t even think that!

[@plan4life]

Imagine if you get a broken arm or a stroke and your arm goes limp.. or worse still if you suddenly drop dead.

[@mementomonsters]

@@plan4life lol too late broke my leg the day I saw this video and damaged my sciatica nerve. I guess I was just to Lost in my own world. And had a seizure two years ago in May. True true life brings you crazy ways to make you realize how short it really is. Helped me realize a lot about my own life

Very Pretty young ladies 💙💙

[@jenpfluger8419]

How could anyone say anything negative about these unbelievable human beings?! I am absolutely amazed at everything these girls can do with their feet. Those haters out there should try walking in the sisters' shoes and see what they're capable of.

[@andrewczski1969]

I could. And I don't find them super spectacular, but do think they're just fine. Now, while I don't hate them one bit, but like how they are in the video, I possibly could hate them for what their politics might be.

[@tyreesetjjoyner1995]

These ungrateful people always have to judge people with no arms, syndromes and/or how they’re born with. As an autism guy with special needs, I respect amputees. These ladies deserve all the love and respect.💙💙💙💙💙

[@abbieprice3430]

That was great to hear that Anna’s mother adopted another girl, Teresa, with a similar limb difference! Not many people are lucky to have siblings or friends who can relate to something like this if you know what I’m saying!

[@donaldmosher6535]

You both bring the world so much more Hope than you realize. That in and of itself is such a gift. You are both a blessing. Thank you for showing me how you both live with smile on your face no matter what gets in your way. YOU ARE AWESOME!!

[@jhenfresh]

You both are beautiful. The older sister speaks so intelligently. My word of advice "thrive sisters thrive"!

[@lovevisions]

Absolutely beautiful women, inside and out. They have such an amazing mom too.

Beautiful, well put together women! Your mom was obviously amazing! ❤

[@corennakhieu5483]

[@dianebryant4684]

You are NOT anything but BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMEN. I am amazed by you both. There are people with all their limbs, who aren’t half as good or gorgeous , and motivated as you two. We all have our own personal challenges, some you see, other challenges we don’t see. But we all have them. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@valerief1231]

When someone says something hateful it tell you so much more about them than the person they are ridiculing. I love meeting different people, always have, and in my 57 years on this earth I’ve learned some people have outward differences whereas others are internal, but we are all created uniquely and wonderfully.

[@uniquelyyoley3272]

God bless them 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Y'all is stronger than us born with arms!!! Such an inspiration 💪🏾❣️😚 keep living life and let the haters hate!! Y'all didn't let this stop y'all may God continue to bless yall🎉🎉😊😊❤❤Very beautiful ladies 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@Serendipity070]

They are so lucky to have such a wonderful mom.

[@MANIsackXayVONGsomSACK]

Two beautiful sisters are adopted by a wonderful caring mom. Life can be cruel towards people with disabilities but these two are very strong minded. Lot's of challenges ahead in life I really respect them both. I wish people would be kinder towards people with disabilities because one day you and might have injuries that might lead us to have disabilities as well. You than would not like people to treat you different. It's better to be kind to everyone no matter what. Best wishes to both of the sisters. My girlfriend is from Vietnam and I'm from Laos.

Ladies, you are amazing. Please don't allow the negativity to define who you are and your goals. We are all different in our own way. You both are survivors.

YOU BOTH ARE AWESOME
