Proving Independence with Miller Syndrome
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ย. 2019
- Born with the rare condition Miller Syndrome (postaxial acrofacial dysostosis) that affects her outward appearance, Erica Perry proves it’s what’s on the inside that counts. With an insuppressible strength of character - Erica lives independently, runs half marathons, and spreads a valuable message that most things can be achieved with confidence and self-belief.

"everyone's got a different body, mine's just extra different" what a cute and reasonable way to put things.
Erica’s face may look different for the first-few minutes.
Then, once you hear her just a bit, she looks normal, fine, lovely.
I would LOVE to be Erica’s friend. I’d cherish her.
I was thinking the same thing . What an amazing woman! I’d definitely love to be her friend! God bless her and her family for the strength and love they’ve shown .
I agree ☺
@Liberty Hussein. Yes, Erica seems like a dear soul!!
Some people are missing honesty, integrity,decency which is worse then missing toes.
oaktree I STRONGLY AGREE!!
It's worse for the counterparty, but better for the person exhibiting those traits.
Isn’t it wonderful that animals respond to kindness, good people and don’t judge people on their disabilities?
They're precious aren't they.
I agree with that i have three boys my two eldest have special needs mild autism and ADHD
Yet they r tortured and killed on a daily by the beings of this cold world. I wish everyone could respect animals because we r everything to them . "A dog is part of ur life. But to a dog u r it's entire life. " Saying I read but think I worded it wrong. Lol
Russian Roulette Obscured your wording was perfect and what you said is very true. I heard a fairly famous comedian on tv describe what happens when he comes home mad, in fact he asked the audience if they too do the same thing and they clapped and laughed in agreement. He said, I walk in the door and the first thing I do is kick the dog as hard as I can and I feel so much better. I heard this several years ago yet will never forget what he said and how the audience agreed with him, agreeing and thinking it’s funny to frighten and hurt a dog. I was innocent and also stupid back then, thinking all people were good to animals.One last thing, maybe you heard about this but Sean McCoy a NFL football player, regularly abuses his young son to the point he gets hysterical when forced to visit him. He also beats his dog so severely he put him in intensive care, resulting in renal failure where the dog almost died, it would have been better if he had because he was sent back to live with McCoy. Witnesses also describe that the dog shakes uncontrollably when McCoy enters the room. Great guy huh? Check him out, he’s on tv plays NFL football every week. He should be banned for life!
@@gaelcrane8008 All animal abusers need to be locked away and castrated.
Ericas parents did a great job with their children...
Yes, they did!!
Wow Erica, just found this update. You have your own home, mum to a cat, a public speaker and you've met others with the same condition as you. You really have achieved some of your ambitions. The hair scrubber is brilliant. You're a remarkable lady. Go girl, go.
I wonder why people hit the dislike button for this beautifully motivating short doc??? I thought it was inspiring and brilliant!
LL Guerra it’s best not to give them attention and not respond to their negative responses, I know you mean well but you’re feeding the fire. Their opinions aren’t important unless we make them so!
@@gaelcrane8008, very true.
LL Guerra most people are a$$holes that’s why. And just plain mean .
Immature kids.
LL Guerra they may not like themselves 🤔🇦🇺
She seems like the kind of person who gives really good advice. Also I think she just pushed me at least a bit out of the depressive phase I have.
I am SO glad this video showed up in my recommended list. I needed to hear her say, “I like being alive”.
Gosh. I'm disabled & I hope that one day I can be as independent as her.
Bryanna B she is absolutely amazing isn’t she ❤️❤️
are u able to live on your own. This women is amazing and strong
Tennille Bowens: thanks, just what I wanted to say!
You can do it! You can achieve everything you want to do ❤️
Erica is an amazing person. She doesn't let her condition get to her. She truly is an inspiration for all people. God bless her!
Her positive attitude and determination is off the charts amazing. I’m envious of her awesomeness.
Can we talk about how sculpted this woman’s legs are🙌🦵💪girl share that workout routine!
I was thinking that!!
Erica is a serious competitive runner.
I love how independent she is and how happy it makes her.. what an amazing woman
She's a beautiful woman inside and outside . To me it's your character that matters most to me
I’ve seen Erica on a show SBSK and she’s delightful person.. I’m glad you’re life is good and full Erica 🥰 Blessings to You
Today I needed to hear Erica’s life story. Such a wonderful kind and inspiring woman.
What a special wonderful caring sweet person , you can’t help but love her ❤️
I love stories like this...the connection to each other we make is what makes us human. I like sharing these stories with my children to teach character and show we all are the same...no matter what a person looks like. Thanks for sharing...
Yes! My children are 8 and 5 years old, and I love showing them how remarkable and different people are. Children need to experience life's awesomeness so they can appreciate people for who they are versus initially judging their looks. Humans like her are important gems in our world, and it's really cool learning about diagnosis and adaptation.
It’s so amazing to see people being active, living their lives on purpose. She totally inspires me. I really like her personality. Thank you so much for sharing this!
You are FABULOUS!
Erica my darling, that kitty chose you.
I just love her dad lol.... he's jolly 😊
This woman has the most amazing outlook on life, she doesn't let anything get the better of her. She really is inspiring and i wish her all the very best ❤️
That cat has the most beautiful face. Animals make us happier and healthier.
Erica, way to go hun, way to go! You have tremendous possibilities ahead. Your so encouraging, so intelligent, so positive and so very strong! Now, lol the only thing I would disagree with is...if someone were to walk by me and tell me I was ugly, I would say thank you, I think your beautiful. Ya, that’s what I would say...but to each his own. No biggie
Erica, keep on pushing on, and don’t let things get in your way of your accomplishments.
Peace sister~
Such a positive women. You truly are an inspiration.
The videos on this channel always make me feel better, more hopeful.
Erica, thank you for sharing your story and congratulations on completing your half marathon and getting so involved at your gym and with park run. You’re a true inspiration!
You have got to be the sweetest most caring beautiful person.the world is a much better place with you in it.keep up the good work and God bless....hugs
Girl you inspire me. All you said about independence is so true. Putting your things where you want them. X
I’m glad she’s found a place of her own to call home :)
That quiche looked SO GOOD!
I love how independent she is and how much she loves it !! 😘 good for you Erika!!

You're an inspiration to more than u probably realize!!! You are a rare beautiful gem in this often all too evil world!!! Keep doing exactly what u do!!! Hugs & prayers! May God bless u!!! ♥️💯💋🙏
cats really do make everything a bit better, don't they? :>
Julie yes and I love my 2 cats sleeping on my bed with me and I say this is my idea of Heaven 😊💜🇦🇺

Love this. Erica seems like such a good, kind and a smart woman.
You and others like you with disabilities give me hope and confidence. I am not strongly built but seeing you work out makes me think that I might have a chance. You are inspirational. Thanks😁
Came across your site, this is the second video I am watching. Had to subscribe but these are amazing life stories. So happy that Erica has her independence, so strong willed and knows she can do anything she wants to 🦋🦋🦋🦋
It warms my heart to see these kids warm to Erica
So many people need to watch this wonderful lady humble powerful humanity amazing outlook on life nothing can stop her what an inspiration ❤
You are an inspiration Erika. You put a lot of people to shame because you don’t complain about what life has given you.
Such a lovely video, thankyou for sharing your story!!
I'm glad you have proper captions for your videos!! I'm hard of hearing and have ADHD.
Keep spreading the word Erica, great example of who and what Kiwis are
Erica is a very positive inspiring lady! Thank you.
Love and best wishes to you from Tucson, Arizona USA! You're an amazing woman, intelligent and well-spoken. You're awesome! xoxo
I love this lady! I love her spirit!
I would love for TH-cam to explain why the comment sections on SBSK's channel are disabled but the comment sections on this channel are alive and well🤔 Nevertheless you're an incredibly beautiful person in every way possible Erica and an inspiration to us all!
Amanda Skeen the issue has to do with SBSK and the targeting of “kids.” TH-cam did some crazy stuff where they just required channels targeted at children to have comments disabled. I remember that the creators of SBSK were devastated about that. They had so many lovely comments there and they all vanished.
What an amazing lady, and her cat adores her so sweet! I wish her all the best xxx
I feel for you. Is disabled people are often mis understood, bullied and mis treated.
The world has become a cruel world.
But we need people like you and me to make a difference.
You are soooo cool. Greetings from Utah,USA
Such an amazing human - she would be a wonderful friend to everyone, such positivity
You so inspire me girl!! You are such a sweet person thank you so much for this great video!
Erica is an inspiration speaking on stage in front of all those students her story made alot of impact to alot of people erica is a brave strong person she has a positive mind
She is so sweet and so inspiring.
You are a true inspiration! Thank you for sharing your story
❤️🙏❤️
Erica you are awesome!!!!! i am sure you change peoples lives with your humor, drive and kindness!! God Bless you!!!
Hi Erica, hope you get chance to read all the lovely comments. Thank you for sharing your energy with us. Love to you 💜
This video is so motivating. Thank you, thank you Erica for sharing your story,
Erica, you're such an inspiration. Keep going, and keep smiling. You are beautiful!
A lovely warm personality and so brave and so clever and kind. Wish I had you for a friend.
She's beautiful & amazing💖I definitely understand her need to be on her own. I have a few disabilities & didn't get out on my own until I was in my late 20s. My parents & families had a hard time accepting it, due to me still getting sick to the point of hospitalization. But I'm glad I made the decision to be on my own. It's liberating.
P.S. Did anyone else notice that beautiful rainbow when she finish her Parkrun🌈
What a cool & inspiring woman & the personal trainer dude is also awesome!
Shes just the same as everyone else with some extra challenges along the way. I love her!!
So very inspirational.
Watched Erica's account of herself and the life she leads. She came across as likable and a "glass half full" lady. A full member of the community. Thankyou Erica.
You are an amazing person. Thank you for sharing
Hi Erica, my name is Erica too. I look normal but I have several disabilities. I live in NM, USA. I admire your positive additude and outlook on life.
It’s not what’s on the outside that counts. I agree with her. It’s what is on the inside. There are many people out there who would love to meet her!
Just a wonderful motivational video. Awesome !!
Hi Erica! I initially saw you on an Aussie documentary a few years ago, then on SBSK
I’m a huge fan!
It’s so wonderful to see an update.
I’ve invited before, but next time you’re in the USA, I’d love to show you around New England.
Erica you look pretty darn normal don’t even think about anything just be yourself. That’s good enough, nothing but your smile and brilliant self is needed!🌟💕
Such an amazing wonderful sweet inspirational women you are ! Making the most out of life is the best thing you can do for yourself even with a disability! Keep on enjoying life and spreading sunshine ☀️🥰
She is amazing !
She's amazing! Such a sweet and brave woman
People talk of confidence when already having so much in terms of physical capabilities or socially accepted beauty or achievements that are easily attained because it was a God given from birth...when someone is given the road outside of what society considers "normal" or "acceptable" and that person can find their self worth and walk with confidence in this sometimes or even a lot of times, judgemental world...that is the epitome of Awesomeness, may God bless you and reward you with eternal contentment...you are my Hero.
Total inspiration!!! xxx
You are very inspiring Erica..Wishing you a good Life! GO GIRL 💚💛💜
You are amazing, what a wonderful and inspiring woman .
She's awesome! And so is her adorable kitty companion.
