Meet Buloy, the Dubai-based mechanic with no hands and feet

Juan Samujo Briza a.k.a. Buloy (pictured below with the love of his life, Joana), is a 32-year-old mechanic working in Dubai. He is like any other mechanic except that his hands and feet are severely deformed.

Buloy’s disability did not deter him from pursuing his dream of having a job and not relying on the generosity of other people.

Briza plans to go back to the Philippines to get married in 2017.
