For the past 40 years of his life, 60-year-old Dominico sleeps and eats in a basket that was crafted by his aged parents The disabled man was said to have lost the use of his legs and hands after successive strange illnesses Given that they are not well-to-do, Dominico’s parents resorted to being his caregivers and feed him themselves.
It is every parent’s desire that their kids take care of them at old age, but for a man named Dominico the reverse is sadly the case.
Dominico’s 88-year-old father and 81-year-old mother feed and care for him every day due to the fact that he is disabled.
The 60-year-old who is their first son has spent 40 years of his life in a basket.
Dominico wasn’t born disabled
According to Afrimax that shared the man’s touching story, he was born normal like every able-bodied human.
