repost but still....

In an attempt to earn a living to support his family, he is part of a circus troupe, displaying his Tree Man limbs along with others afflicted with skin deformities in ‘freak’ shows.
how sad

Here is something that hasn't been posted... he's better. Returning to normal life.



Remember the Tree Man? Well, he’s back now to lead a more normal life after surgeries to remove most of his tree barks. Good for him!

One of Dede’s doctors, Rachmad Dinata, said the hospital had allowed the 37-year-old man to enjoy the Islamic fasting month with his family now that 95 percent of the warts had been removed after nine operations. The fasting month begins on September 1.

‘He cannot be 100 percent cured, but his life quality has improved. If once he depended on others to do his activities, now he can eat by himself, use his hand to write, use the cell phone,’ Dinata said.
