The Family Whose Faces Change Shape | BORN DIFFERENT

A FAMILY in North Sumatra, Indonesia, are living with a rare condition that causes their faces to change shape. Out of the six children of the Manurung family, four of them are living with an undiagnosed and incredibly rare facial condition. Suyra told Truly: “The fact is, our faces they have changed shape but we accept it and just live with it. In my opinion, growing up with this condition made me feel inferior. But now, I don’t feel like that anymore.” Despite many suggesting the family had been cursed, they have realised their condition must be genetic, as their father is also affected. The family are yet to visit a doctor for any diagnosis and, due to the unusual nature of their looks, they have had to get used to people reacting negatively to their appearance.

I love the honesty, “We didn’t do it for pity, we did it for money” what absolute legends

They're so close to each other, positive mind and full of love.

I can honestly say being judged by experience can strip you away and make you so insecure to even move. So I salute to every single one of them cause being judged is not fun as we are all the same specie. Respect. So nice to see them happy together & how their Village does not judge them! Only if they could breach a higher feeling of happiness without feeling judged and able to breathe easier you know!! I think after watching this video they look perfectly normal with good intentions:) I like good people and they should embrace whom they are to the max so their quality of life will be so good feeling for all of them! This video made my day:) KeepPushinEveryone

It's nice to know that the people in their village and home town are not rude and treat them normally.

I don’t blame them going viral for the money. They want to raise their standard of living. Honestly there’s nothing wrong with utilizing the internet for money as long as you aren’t exploiting someone else (like family YouTubers) or doing something harmful.
Absolutely love this family.

[ashleydixon]

Their parents should be proud— they’ve raised a bunch of smart, well-adjusted kids.

[meiteilonwari]

Your mother shows the real definition of love, proud of your mother....❤

[lolalove]

They have the one thing that many others wish they had, and that is a loving caring and supportive family.

[BlackMilkSleep]

I love this family. They’re intelligent, (‘we’re obviously not cursed; this is clearly genetic, ’ and, ‘we strategically went viral to get that money, ’) kind, and overall people you would want to spend your time with.

[zaneygroove]

How can over two thousand people dislike this??? I guess they were born differently too… without a heart.

[o.lyandzberg]

This really, really shows that looks don't matter. They're a family like others (and very strategically used their difference to go viral and get money, which I applaud them for), their condition luckily doesn't give them health problems, and so they just live with it. Really makes you rethink how much more what's on the inside of the person is worth than what they look like.

Happiness is not about the looks, it's about the smile in their faces. ♥️

[blackholez]

I love how they accept their looks and don’t judge themselves because they know that their father has the condition too. Their village must be the friendliest because they didn’t judge them either, what nice people 😌

[MHPCollecting]

They are human, they are people and nobody should forget that, Shame on those who ridicule people based on their looks.

[chuckmartel]

No excuses, bros. Their dad looked like this and still found a woman.

[bipsomma]

Loved when he said he wanted to go viral for the money. You definitely have to respect his honesty ! This family seems so lovely. I hope they're successful.

[zeinmets]

The fact that they can be so positive in the face of such adversity is simply phenomenal.

[Sheila-lmiv]

And these are the kind of people who would help anybody in need. They seem very content and part of the community. I would very much rather have these people as my neighbors, than some of the people out here in the western world. I love this family, and send hugs to all of them.

[fiy]

It hurts seeing people making fun of them in the comments, they must've going through alot. And they've been so strong all this time. I'm loving their positive energy❤️
