The Incredible Conjoined Twins Attached At The Head | BORN DIFFERENT

TWIN girls Joy and Joyce Magsino are craniopagus conjoined twins from the Philippines - meaning they were born with their skulls fused together. At birth, the doctors gave the twins a 10-year life expectancy, but the now 13 year olds are thriving against the odds. Separating Joy and Joyce is a possibility, but an incredibly risky operation that would cost the family $75,000. Their mother Jhomarie has left the country to work abroad, in an attempt to be able to save enough money to afford the operation. She told Truly: "When they were younger they were so difficult to look after, unlike today, they can look after themselves - now they can shower, feed themselves and also use TikTok." The twins love to record videos for social media, and have been slowly seeing their followers increase. "We would like to be famous on social media someday so that we can save up some money for our operation," Joy said.

The fact that they have never been able to directly look at each other makes me really sad

[nightslayer]

I pray that they get the money they need and that the operation is a success.

If Gorilla Glue lady can get her surgery for free, some doctor needs to step up for these girls.

[gdmaxpro]

I feel bad for these girls imagine how difficult it would be to do their routines just makes me wanna cry 🥺

[ScottlandTheWise]

jesus, I will never complain about anything in my life again. How these girls have a good attitude is beyond my comprehension

[Mr.CEO]

I hope the right person or people sees this and uses their resources to help this family help these girls.

[katiepurry]

They're stuck with each other but they've never seen each other's faces. Hope they get to have what they've always wanted

[lpninja]

I wish these girls all the best in life!

[Alskdoenfkemfnek]

It’s incredibly risky surgery, the money is not the only thing to consider.

[ranwor]

I know there's a doctor watching this that can help

[ticrific]

At first i thought their mom was their sister... she looks so young!!!

[vanessag.]

The mom is so sweet. Despite their condition it is nice to see they have a loving family

[yellow_hearts]

Just imagine the positions they’re forced to sleep in. If one twin has to move because they’re uncomfortable, it’ll very much affect the other twin. And one twin always has to walk backwards, they can never walk forward side by side.

[Juliana-hnbo]

Conjoined twins are something so unique let alone being conjoined at the skull. Some doctors need to lend a hand to them and do the surgery for free or at least much much cheaper.

[Sahnequeen]

My wish is to get an update about them being seperated successfully. I want them to live the best way.

[graceneupane]

The bravest mom ever to raise the two daughters. Only a mother can do this

[pixieexists]

okay but can we appreciate the amazing mother here? she seems so strong and sweet.

[lyssaearland]

I don’t understand why they wouldn’t attach a gofundme/donation page for stories like this. Instead wishing for someone to help them, we could contribute SOMETHING to help

[flocky]

I love how during the interview, the other twin is just looking at her phone while the other one is talking 😂

[Henry-olgf]

What did those poor twins ever do to deserve this? I hope they get the surgery they need and may god bless them 💕
