Born extremely premature with unimaginable health problems, it’s a true miracle that 14-year-old Christopher Duffley is alive today.
Weighing only 1 lb. at birth, Duffley was born blind, with cocaine in his system and was later diagnosed with autism. The young boy was thrown into the foster care system before being pulled out by his aunt. Duffley is a true survivor who overcame the most difficult of odds and once I heard this young man sing his heart out, it was very obvious to me why he was saved.
For years, it was unclear if Duffley would ever learn to speak. When he finally did, he was in the first grade and his aunt was shocked by what she heard. Her nephew had the voice of an angel and despite all of his health problems, he had been blessed with perfect pitch.
Duffley, who is from Manchester, NH describes himself as a “musician/singer who happens to be blind and autistic," and when he sings in the following video, it shows. The 14-year-old was recently invited to Fenway Park to sing the National Anthem in front of thousands on behalf of the program Autism Speaks.
It's hard not to be touched by his incredible performance. He's such an inspiration for anyone who's having a hard time in life.
