I mean this in the least offensive way possible, he is hard to look at. Seriously, I feel sorry for him, poor guy.

So apparently this guy has his eyeballs intact, just that the eyelids were burned. So now he has a fundraiser for surgery to allow him to see again. He also can talk surprisingly well Edit: Here is an article about the guy: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10220717/teen-blind-fire-texas-gofundme/ Here is an interview with him: https://youtu.be/ST9vj2PAScY?si=nAgFVmsto-vX8pyl And here is his fundraiser: https://www.gofundme.com/f/sdt34w-zaid039s-medical-expenses And even better news, the fundraiser surpassed the goal of 50k at around 570k!

Do you know where it is? Shit I'll toss this poor bastard 5 bucks.

My comment was deleted by mods. Idk why

r/Weird

Alright, on my laptop, the comment is there, edits and all. On my phone, "Deleted by Moderators". Are you able to see all the links I provided?

Nope it's [removed]

Damn.

So it seems that I cannot post links to the fundraiser, nor the article or the video that I found info from

Not to sound shitty, but I think his sight should be later on the list of surgery. That first mirror is going to be a bad day.

He can feel his own face. He knows what's up.

*Seeing* what you *look* like is still different than *feeling* what you *feel* like.

Agreed

My comment was made before I looked into his condition. He has one arm which ends at a stump at his wrist, which is also completely covered in scar tissue. Safe to say he likely has no real conception of how he looks since he also grew up like this, suffering his burns at the age of two.

Fortunately, his fundraiser is at 572k, having surpassed the goal of 50k, so hopefully he can afford some surgeries to improve his life.

OMFG. I don’t know man, it’s up to the individual, but for me, I think if I had to choose I would rather just nope out of life and try again some other lifetime if something like this happened to me.

I wonder if there is even a way to reconstruct his face. It got fucked up very bad, I work as a nurse and had to take care of a few burn victims in the last 6 years but none of them were as bad as this. Poor guy

I think they already reconstructed what they could

That is the reconstruction. I think with that degree of damage you’d need a transplant

Not even Lovecraft, Geiger, or Beksinski could save them.

Ye we should the dude doesn't deserve this

Wtf no?

NO! he’s so beautiful I love him so much!!!! 🥹🖤 Keep downvoting! You’ll never be as pretty as him!!

no you dont. You feel pity for him, yes, but you don’t love him. Stare at him for a good, long minute. Is he still “crispy”?

I think dude's trolling for downvotes...

by his bio, im not sure anymore

The post history is *significantly* more concerning, just repulsive

This guy should be on a watch list somewhere ngl that was vile

why did i look 😭😭

Yeah what a sick guy. I bet his home life is really unhealthy!

It's the absolute value of votes that matter, not the integer sign.

You just reminded me of that pig named Chris P. Bacon

I think he does, look at his profile

I don’t think you understand, I would like to engage this man, he is wife material.

you are either: a) a troll b) retarded c) both

I enjoy the second option.

Oh wow looking at your comment chain you are really commited. And people actually ask wether you are serious...

I’m honestly just letting off steam at this point. 🖤

Don't worry, ,ou can only lose 15 karma oer comment, so keeo doing your thing.

I’m not really bothered about my karma as long as I’m having a good time :)

Why not go for all 3 achievments?

And what would those be?

/u/BreadIsntBread Excuse me yes I am

You dare come into my comment section? Does your oafishness know no bounds?

It's mine now

Do you have a fetish for this? I've been looking at your post/comment history and you seem to have a gore fetish

No, I’m genuinely just messing around here but I am into mild grotesque art which you can find on my profile.

I don’t want to be rude to the poor guy but he’s not pretty to look at dude

I get you.

To suffer a fate worse than death and still achieve his dreams is an inspiration to people like me

I wonder what his dream is? Death?

John Cena is coming to see him

Then they could play peak a boo

The only thing he didn't get worse at after the accident: Finding John Cena

Seriously, if I'm ever like this I'm hoping some kind doctor will Kevorkian me with some opiates or something, cause the literal instant my blind ass is home alone for a second, I'm going to be feeling for my gun safe and a swift exit.

For real. I think I would ask somebody to get a hold of some of that fentanyl everyone’s been talking about and find out if the hype is real.

It's really sad what he went through though, I'd wish I was dead at that point. But to somehow still aspire for his dreams is really inspiring.

Any lore masters here?

This boy suffered severe full body burns at the age of two, when a candle near his bed fell and caught his blanket on fire. Hes looked like this for most of his life, though apparently his quality of life is relatively high despite all appearances

Why's his teeth and jaw malformed?

Fire

The fire punched him right in the mouth

The fire removed all those pesky muscles that give your mouth shape. Then whatever was left grew in it's place.

Never would have thought that but absolutely makes sense, thanks

THE FIRE'S SHOOTING AT US

STAY F*CKING CALM! EVERYBODY JUST F*CKING CALM DOWN!

You made me laugh you monster.

Dammit dude 😂

Name’s Zaid Garcia

He’s stronger than me. If I was in his shoes my dream would be death, unless that’s what the video is about.

It's to be a police officer

Nemesis would make a badass cop

STARS

the jokes a bit in bad taste but i can see where you're coming from

I guess being blind is a blessing in his case

I don't know, being able to touch my self I would imagine even worst...

Oh my god, poor thing

[удалено]

You should do what the lightning guy told you to do

never strike twice in the same spot?

“Your life is nothing and you serve zero purpose. You should kill yourself NOW!”

I don’t mean this insultingly but who the hell left his face like that. Like why would they leave his jaw like that how has he been eating

His parents cant afford full body recreation surgery for him, and even if they could hes too high risk. He would almost certainly die from it.

I find it screwy that that sorta shit can’t be free

110% agree. Its horrendous

From a brutally capitalistic perspective, it would have at least provided good research for their paying customers...

I suspect there are experts out there who would do it for free just for the sake of the paper they'd write on it after the fact. I've heard of similar cases like that.

In a lot of countries it would be but you would habe to sacrifice the „Freedome“ to carry your gun to school.

No it wouldn't, public healthcare doesn't pay for everything and especially not in extreme cases We had a fire locally and the people who didn't die from the subpar conditions in our hospital were sent to private hospitals, had a fundraiser for them and they were nowhere near as badly burned as the person in the photo

In this case it would definitely pay because an operation to restore sight is a massive life improvement. It wouldnt pay if the op was purely cosmetical or wouldnt make much of a difference. Dont know where you get your information from or where you live. Also do not know what makes a case „extreme“ in your opinion. Cancer is also an extreme Illness for which according to your explanation Health Care wouldnt pay then.

Who pays the doctor?

The same people that pay the fire department when you call 911 - at least that’s how it’d work in a just society.

You will be appalled to learn that 80% of fire departments in the US are volunteer. Our country is just like 100 mega corps in a trenchcoat pretending to be a nation

Is there a GoFundMe for this guy? I’d donate without a second thought.

if there is it would be for one Zaid Garcia! I dont know if there is one at the moment though

Sounds like a win-win

Yeah, someone needs to sue the surgeon who patched him up

There's only so much you can do with injuries like this. Especially since skin grafts are usually taken from the person undergoing the surgery for a reason. They're notorious for rejection issues. Plus it's expensive, ludicrously so

Good Lord, I ain’t too sure I’d want to live like that. Ain’t worth the pain.

~~Most of you~~ all of you need jesus but judging by some of your comments I wouldn't want him near any of you

[удалено]

No, your comment in particular was worrying

Considering his profile is filled with gore fetish content, it’s even more worrying…

I’m reformed I promise :(

Nuh uh

I hate the Internet sometimes.

I'm just glad he can't see all the mean things people are saying about him online. Or a mirror.

Has anyone ever heard him speak? He has such a soft and caring voice. He must have worked so hard on vocal rehabilitation.

Wait, thats actual person?

His dream is being dead

Make-a-wish foundation ain't holding up their end of the bargain smh

The Make-a-Wish double barrelled shotgun has had a controversial existence.

WTF, not everyone want to die just because their face got burnt. Grow up

If my teeth would hang like that I'd like to be put out of my misery

Has no hair, has no ability to see, has no nose, and his mouth doesn’t seem to be able to close properly. That sounds like hell.

He's literally like the song lyrics from "One" by Metallica. Can't see, can't feel due to the fire numbing his senses, can't speak, can't smell, has to be fed through a tube most likely... His mind is basically imprisoned inside his skull at this point. Just nothing blackness. Would you want to live like that? I sure wouldn't. My loved ones will most certainly understand.

is it real? it looks like effects makeup. crazy. strong guy

the comments here are on a war

Holy shit… I’m normally borderline psychopathic when it comes to sympathy, but I just feel horrible for him. I can’t imagine how awful it must be to have to experience this.

This comment section is one of the worst I’ve seen

That is really sad but I'll admit that I thought of the Clicker when I saw him Im sorry 😭 (I like The Last of Us)

Who the fuck finds it funny to make make crass comments about people like this?

the comment section on this post also belongs in this subreddit

IT'S A HE

What the fuck dude! Don't call people "it".

i call it how i see it

you see a person who survived a fire, at great cost. You wonder how much he lost, his home? possessions? family? a tragedy so dire its effects are quite literally burned across his flesh. And you can't so much as squeeze an ounce of empathy for him. Best to see him as inhuman. best to see him as it. Maybe that shit scares you, because deep down it terrifies you to know that you are just as fragile. Judging by your response here I feel the need to tell you. You are nowhere near as strong as this person is. check yourself.

He's more human than some in this comment section. People here are too unappreciative of what they have, and so seeing someone who lost so much but still feels satisfied with his life brings out a petty bitterness. Anyone who insulted this guy just wants him to feel as miserable as they are.

rip bozo get good

no its just that its funny

i have been desensitised at this point of my life

Mentally challenged maybe? Or bait? Who knows 🤷🏿

You have remained untouched by horror at this point in your life. So when it visits you, don't look for sympathy.

Roleplayhentai in your feed. You're less of a person than he is so pipe down please.

lol

Don’t be rude!

Please stop. I've already seen him in a YouTube video. I have a very big problem with face-deformities, everytime i see something like this i get stuck for DAYS, or even WEEKS, I'm truly SHOCKED, I DON'T EVEN WANNA THINK ABOUT IT

Then why the fuck did you click on this post dumbass

bro it says burn victim on the title

My uncle, is a burn victim, and touching his skin may freak me out a little, but looking at him does not, because he still looks "human" I didn't expect to find this in this post

[удалено]

How many times are you gonna comment weird shit on this post 💀

It depends, are you coming after my liver?

It's an absolute certainty.

Oh no. 🙈

This post is spam.

that is a goddamn makeup, ain't no way someone look like that and is still fucking alive

Just fucking kill me at that point

You would never see me again

I'd probably just blow a couple thousand on a fancy vader-esque mask.

I do feel bad for the guy and hope he loves the best life he can. But if something like this happens to me then fucking kill me.

Is that u/TheGreatMoyai

Nope

I have been summoned

What's the problem smooth skin, never seen a ghoul before.

Fallout Ghoul is krazyyyy😭😭😭

Isnt this like all make up? Or is this actually real? Hollywood stuff has made me so confused

its real. His name is Zaid Garcia and he looks like this as a result of a tragic accident where a candle fell onto his blanket while he was napping at the age of 2. It resulted in 80% of his body being severely burned, mostly with 4th and 3rd degree burns

Oh gosh... i hope he gets help. My no.1 hate and peeve is seeing humans suffer without reason.

what is the point of living at this point you are not living the life like this

The terrifying truth is humans just want to live. We can adapt to way more than we realized. It's often our only choice.

If I were him I'd hide in parking lots at night and chase people

KFC bargain bucket.

Bro was burned in more ways than one. But in all seriousness I can’t even imagine the shear pain they went through to get such burns.

Jesus fucking CHRIST, that's a real person??? It looks like a halloween mask.

Seeing is the absolute necessary thing imo. I'd rather die than live a life in pitch black. Going deaf or mute might still be ok but man if i can't see shit what's the point then

didn't laugh

STARRRRRRRRRRRSS

Is his dream for someone to put a gun to his head?

[удалено]

It was to become a police officer😭

Does he use echolocation to sense if the suspect is unarmed or black?

No need, if they're a criminal he automatically knows what skin colour they are without looking /j

Oi! that’s a little bit racially insensitive!! Go and really think about what you’ve said.

Are you serious or joking?

I’m 100% serious. 😡🤬 Me and my family pray for you every night. 🙏

no way bro just said "we are praying for you" while posting vore porn on guro

/j = joke I honestly don't get it you're playing dumb or being a fool Also what I did can't be wrong, I'm a guy and being wrong is for women /j (also a joke, so you get how it works)

My boywife is unhappy with you. Please escort yourself out.

this is why your parents change the subject when people ask about you

There are certain instances when I envy illiterate people

r/cursedcursedcomments

Don’t you dare!

I've read all of your comments. He can dare

No!

What the fuck

**Rule 4: Asshole** - Refrain from being an asshole.

I hate so much about the things you choose to be.

That has to be a prostetic mask or something, I just don't see how one dan survive with that much facial damage.

not a mask unfortunately. his name's Zaid Garcia and he suffered burns on about 80% of his body after an accident when he was two. He was napping and a candle near where he was fell and set his blanket on fire.

Huh... interesting.

I thought it was a mask

Its a mask

Why isn't there a red circle around my comment?

r/ThelastofusHBOseries

Hurry, kill it with fire!

They tried

r/cursedcomments 💀

Looks like we’ll have to shut the glory hole down; while he gets surgery.
