Claudinho was told that he only has 24 hours to live at birth. But he proved the doctors wrong.

Claudinho defied the odds. He learned to walk on his knees at the age of 7 with specially designed support. He was also was taught to read and write by his mother at home.

“I’ve never had difficulties, my life is normal,” Claudinho told G1, a Brazilian news site. “I’m in full-on quarantine because this Covid is very aggressive, it’s lethal, so we’re scared.”

“I’m being over twice as careful, I’ve been isolating for over a year and I only leave the house to sort out things that only I can do in person, such as banking,” he continued.

In addition to motivational speaking, Claudinho also volunteers with the local Christian educational project.

The ongoing worldwide health crisis put a pause on Claudinho’s usually busy life as he has been isolating at home to remain Covid-free, but he is hoping to resume motivational speaking in the coming month.
