  1. I cried just watching this. We complain about so many petty things in life. Look at this man happy even if he is suffering. I learnt something by watching this. Thanks Antigua.news. This did a number on me.

  8. This is heartbreaking. A 34-year-old man should be building his future, not fighting just to survive and move without pain. Something is seriously wrong when people are left like this.

  9. I have to admit I didn’t and won’t watch the video. Based on the comments this is very emotional and I’m an overly emotional person. Please indicate how we can help. Not sure if it’s on the video
