Turia Pitt, burn survivor and recipient of skin grafts
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 сер 2017
- Turia Pitt, an elite athlete, former model and mining engineer, was burned over 65 percent of her body when a freak firestorm trapped her and another runner participating in a 100 kilometer ultra-marathon in the Australian outback. Turia received MTF skin to help heal burns.
"When a man marries a woman, he marries her soul not her body." He is true gold and handsome too. They are both blessed.
@Héctor Z not all women.
What a lovely couple.
They aren't married.
So TRUELY BELIEVED this is the ULTIMATE GIFT TO ALL TO BE AN EXAMPLE OF 💪😎👍there is NO OTHER REAL GIFT🦋
They have had two children since this interview. You can find the different phases of Turia and Michael's life together all over you tube.
Update: they had a kid and got married
That's wonderful ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Wow
In that order?
I was hoping for that news 😘
@@punchline43 that's an odd question. What does it matter?
My respect for this man. My mom went through this when I was three years old and I love and respect my dad for staying and raising me
Definition of TRUE LOVE !!
Daren Stanley and he’s a man! Usually does not occur. He is a TRUE man.
If he leaves, it does not mean he's a bad person. It is unfair to expect him to remain in a relationship where there's no physical attraction.
john wayne gacey -- Then you dont understand the difference between a sexual partner and true love. Love transcends physicality. The person he fell in love with was still there 100% beyond the scars and as he has explained, he is flabbergasted how anyone would think he wouldn't have stuck with her BECAUSE of that exact reason.
Valerie Switzer -- In my view it's quite innacurate to say that a woman is so much more expected to remain loyal to a man who has suffered this type of physical deformity in comparison to a man. If any relationship is not built on true love and adoration for one another, a tragedy like this will almost always result in the partner leaving. The relationship will crumble if their connection is based around sex and solely on a physical attraction.... regardless of the gender. Any man who has a TRULY loving bond and a strong mental connection with a woman will never leave her in result of a tragic physical change such as what happened here.
Hum Shak your comment is mean
This is an amazing power couple!!! Michael is a gentlemen of class and love. Turia is a beautiful woman on the inside and out. True love does exist. Couples like this are a prime example of that!! It’s inspiring!!!
Justin Gouveia beautiful comment. I agree with your words!
oh no HE IS NOT
Are you single?You seem really sweet!
Gouveia is a portuguese name.
Spot on, mate!
I was burned 55% of my body when I was 4yrs old ....My dress caught fire...I was in the hospital 3 months with skin grafts and blood transfusions...it didn't reach my face but there is a scar on the back of my neck where it almost did...They let my arm grow down to my sides so I could raise the high...surgery has fixed that..I had a belt that melted around my stomach...Surgery has help that...I have two daughters...I am married to a sweet loving man and I am blessed...The Lord is good...And I truly love how Teria has comes so far in her recovery...
Cheers to this wonderful man & brave woman

My GF is going through this as well...35 percent of her body is covered in 2nd and 3rd degree burns. This gives me hope. And I'm the same as this guy. I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to get my girl through this.
Really brave of you sir....
I wish you all the best for you and your girlfriend. What an inspiration you are!
❤️
Thank you for giving me hope that man like you exist. You're a real man and absolutely you rock👏👏👏
The world needs ppl like you 👏👏👏
She's extremely lucky to have such a man in her life ...so lucky
Petrichor petr actually he’s lucky to have her in his life ❤️
Petrichor petr she s not lucky, she s extrsordinary and that s why he loves her so much
how ableist. Basically you are saying the average man wouldn't stick by her? We have really low opinions of men.
Get a grip!..........this is a story of Humanity.....Live/Love/Laugh
@R .P. well do better then. Plus, there are studies out there that show men don't stick with women after illness. Go against the grain and break the stereotype
Kudos to this amazing & strong couple, who prove that true love exists, no matter what....
Who doesn't have a choice?
That's the kind of love I've always craved for...the one that goes beyond the physical appearance. Their story brought back the hope that I though it vanished...the hope to find true love, to meet my soulmate.
Cheers for this amazing couple! Thank you.
@Adam theilan Being in the situation is far worse than just sitting behind a computer writing.
@@globe255 Yeah, correct if you are them you would understand how much struggle is their relationship going.
Every time I find myself complaining about something trivial, or taking things for granted, I am going to try and remind myself of this video. These two people are just amazing. To have such a terrible thing happen and yet overcome it and be focusing on the positive things - truly inspiring.
A perfect example of someone's beauty shining through and overcoming the scars that were left behind.
Man i watched the whole documentary and i must say i feel like a piece of garbage compared to her boyfriend. is this dude real ? if this is love then what did i know all my life... He is all what humanity means. without him she would have never made it
Well said~
Fe Nix Him? He's lucky to have her. She makes me feel terrible about how much life I've wasted dwelling on the negative.
@@korylooper3170 did you solve the phenomenon of dwelling on the negative? Can you share the solution plz
@ Fe Nix such a beautiful, humble comment that you wrote, loved it😘
Fe Nix I don't think you ever fully solve the problem. I think there's a battle in your mind until the day you die. Somedays you win somedays you don't. Hopefully as you grow older the good days outnumber the bad and I think that happens with gratitude. Being thankful to experience even the terrible things in life. "Thank you Lord for this terrible day I'm having, many would love to have my problems at the moment". And thinking of others as often as possible. If you focus on others you won't dwell on yourself. I'm as selfish as anyone (maybe more so) but at least I can see the flaw and work towards being a better person.
I can't help but to cry. Knowing how much pain you went though breaks my heart. You are so inspiring and I hope to achieve your mindset one day.
Because of stories like these I count my blessing daily and I try never to complain 💯
Mental health issues are real, don't berate yourself if you're truly suffering already
I was having a very sad day- after this interview I dare not complain. May both of you have a long and healthy life 🤍
Turia,
Your story goes deeper for me than your burns. The agony I put myself through with my depression is unbearable but no more. Your story is painful to watch and to listen to but your scars are a reminder that life lives on and that each day is worth living. Thank you love. Keep fighting. You're beautiful!!! I wish you and your sweetheart the best of everything together. ♡♡♡
Love, Joni
Joni I luv my fam Yes, your words feel spoken as if they were my own! The hidden darkness that no one sees can be unbearably daunting! This wondrous spirit has continued to show us that darkness befallen can be endured!
🙌🏻🙏🏻 god bless you I also suffer of depression sometimes you think you have it bad then you see something like this and you don’t realize how beautiful life is and that you don’t have it that bad as you may think watching Turin Pitt she’s one of the strongest women I’ve seen I just found her story on UA-cam today 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@starchild7777 yes I too suffer from severe depression. Although seeing this makes me feel guilty but it still doesn't take the pain away.
💓💓💓
Her injuries are FAR WORSE than depressed!!!!!! Come on !
I can't believe she didn't realize how badly she was burned. Must have been shock. How she endured the pain and all her surgeries is truly amazing. Very strong and intelligent lady.
When burns are that bad you don't feel pain the nerves die. That's why she did not think it was that bad. She was also highly medicated.
Exactly. Burns that deep kill the nerve endings and there's no pain.
so when does the pain kick in, as the nerves start to heal?
The nerve damage can be permanent.
def in shock
After my mother passed, we were unable to donate any organs (due to medications and her advanced age). But we were able to donate skin. We were comforted for doing this -- Mom was such a generous and loving person, and we knew it was the right thing to do.
This story surfaced many lies that I have been living in my life...love, relationships, compassion, me as a person in my own life, a whole lotta things in this light...very few people in my 26 years taught me the most important lessons of life within minutes...and you guys are one among them....thank you Michael and Turia for being your inspiring selves. Much Love 🤍
I burned my whole forearm a few days ago (2.2.22) - and I am so in pain. I can feel your story so deep! Your husband has the sweetest heart!
Hope you're doing ok x
Wats this magical number
You two would have to be the most boss couple in australia. Ur child is so blessed to have u guys as parents, I HAD ALWAYS THOUGHT OF ORGAN DONATION, BUT NOT TISSUE DONATION, Thanks for making me think and talk with family about donation
sarah Sarah yes shes extremely lucky to have such a man in her lief... extremely luck ... I never saw such men around me anywhere 😢
The child is really blessed to have such parents who have wonderful hearts
Skin is an organ.
@@heartsmyfaceforever8140 sure is lol. People are so uneducated lol
When I look at you Turia, I see beauty, strength, and I see love. You inspire lots of people. Thank you!
Burned alive and she’s like “ill be in work next week- oh hey bonnie!” Lol what a beast. Her spirit is ferocious living!
I know right? I thought the same thing...speechless
She has the best in a partner than anyone can ever ask for. It is sad when someone gets disfigured for life, how quickly they find their partner cannot deal with your scars and walks, so I am beyond happy for er that she found a loyal loving man.
I had a burn on my foot that required a skin graft from my calf of about 20 sq. in.
The pain from the burn was nothing compared to the pain from the graft area.
It was two weeks of the most extraordinary pain I have ever known.
Still, I cannot imagine the agony you have endured.
You are truly beautiful.
Omg somewhere out there are couples who really deeply love and care for each other beyond everthing. I can already picture them holding hands on old age... my bow to you two.
Michael is truly blessed young man with a sweet soul. God's blessings for him and Turia. What a wonderful couple.
He is bless to have her...she is amazing.
You dont find men like him everyday~ and what a brave strong woman!
no comments here? sorry this happened Turia, you're a brave lady .. you're beauty comes through from within
One of the most inspirational couples I've had the honor to come across 💪
Have been watching your story. Thank you Turia for all the lessons you have taught me...
Humbles you big time doesn’t it
I admire Michael and Turia so much. The incredible support from her family and loved ones, and people of the world who pray for her. On a personal note, my late husband Fred donated his tissues in honor of his student Daniel of Calexico, CA, a burn survivor. Organ and tissue donation is an incredible gift to someone's future.
What a beautiful strong couple...Turia is an exceptional woman... I wish them both love and success for their continued journey.
I find it disgusting that customs blocked initially that skin that saved Turia’s life ...
From this article: "The anthropologist...says, some of the U.S.'s topmost medical facilities have been caught with illegally trafficked organs. Scherper-Hughes has tracked organs to hospitals and medical centers in New York, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia, among other places." and "Chinese hospitals are of particular concern. In China in 2006, a hospital run by the state communist party was exposed for trafficking the organs of prisoners of conscience, i.e. forced organ harvesting. 10,000 transplantable organs are sold out of China each year, a market worth $1 billion, despite the fact that few donors are on official lists. This has become the subject of a documentary: “Human Harvest: China's Organ Trafficking." International investigators like David Matas and David Kilgour cite evidence that tens of thousands have been killed in China by Chinese officials to support illegal organ trafficking. The Chinese communist party has denied all allegations of transplant operations, claiming that neither transplant centers nor or an organ harvesting program exists."
And I find it amazing that their government moved quickly enough to pass the skin thru customs in time to save her life - literally in hours.
@@MissJessyeNorman i have watched that! That is so horrible. And ont of the doctors said that he doesnt feel anything when harvesting organs because he did so much! My goodness!
Lovelyloi Kevin van Etten if he cried & vomited every time he did his job we’d all be dead in our own poop in a dirt hole somewhere. We would have no medical advances. No tough treatments. No experimental breakthroughs in medicine. I understand that the subject of that article may have been awful, but don’t condemn him for doing what he was trained to do & feeling how he was trained to feel. When you cook a chicken do you mourn for it? No. You just cook it. If I had to skin an animal would I mourn for it? Hell Yes! Because I’ve never done it. I’m not accustomed to it. He is. I assume most well trained & qualified medical professionals HAVE to have a mindset pretty similar to this just to do their job. Otherwise they’d all go mad. 🤷♀️
Sometimes customs has to cause its from a dead persons skin. It can be disease can spread. Or skin can come from pig skin.
Amazing couple. Thanks so much for sharing your story. What a beautiful burns warrior; I feel that we are not just "survivors" of burns but we are warriors. Bless you both and your family. Love and light.
God Bless Turia and her boyfriend...what an amazing couple...!
She is so brave and she was gorgeous when she wasn't burned and still is, you are amazing. xx
thank you-you encouraged me tonight-the toughest time of my life-you're amazing
Gosh im balling tears 😭 that man is amazing
This woman is such a fighter and her husband............... is a wonderful man.
I hope you stay together and may god bless your beautiful family.
This woman is beyond inspirational! To see what she has been through and to be able to keep such a positive outlook on the future is deeply touching. The fact that she has the strength to realize not every day is going to be perfect that some are just going to be crap and you don't have to put on a false happy facade just own your feelings and look forward to a better tomorrow takes some real strength and courage that most mortals don't possess. Turia you are truly a gift to this world someone that everyone can learn from you really are an angel on earth. Micheal you are what a real man should be and all other men on this planet should take some cues from you.
I would first like to say how strong you are. It must have been a painful ordeal. Yet. You had a support system behind you-he loves. You my love are the hero, the life changer, the one who endured the pain, the change and self esteem to continue. I am not a donor. But tomorrow I will be and change everything to save a soul such as yours. You are a light that will always shine. Thank you for opening the worlds eyes to the the importance. Blessings always🌱
Hey everyone , did you watch this couple on 60mins ? The host tracked down the wealthy Husband and Wife team who are the organisers of the marathon, they ignored this victim and refused to admit to any fault ! Zero compassion , in it purely for all the money ! Why is everyone just saying “sorry what this couple have to go through” BUT people around the world still throwing money to the organisers to join their marathons?!!!! Why didn’t everyone come together and start a protest for this couple against the organisers?!!
Would a wild fire be their fault? How about a go fund me. I would donate.
- "refused to admit any fault". They have no faults to admit you turbo-tard lol.
- "Zero compassion" You a mind reader?
- "Why didn’t everyone come together and start a protest for this couple against the organizers?!!" Why didn't you? Everyone else didn't bc there was never anything to protest.
- "In it purely for all the money" Mind reading again. I am sure you THINK that about lots of successful people since you are obviously a naive larping socialist
@@Mattreyu199, you are pathetic.
Lucas Costa - No, actually, he’s not.
Nobody knew anything.
I was just speechless after watching this. The grace and courage and strength sown by Turia is beyond amazing. Her fiance’ is an amazing human being. The depth if his character and integrity is evident in his love for her. So many would have not stayed in the relationship for superficial reasons. Her life is rich in the most important ways. I wish for both if you many years of love and laughter. Thank you for your inspiration!
Just learnt about Turia and her husband Michael
a Beautiful couple, Super Heroes we has among Us, a uplifting vibe Thank You
Peace & Love.
All I can say is wow. She is an amazing woman. You will get all that you deserve and will live a rich fulfilling life. Bless you both xx
Micheal can show the world of men how to be compassionate and loving and teach what a real meaning of man means.
I don't know which of them is more awesome, those are two of the most incredible people ever to grace this planet...
Thank you for sharing your story, you are a special Soul, bless you always, and so is he by staying by her side, amazing, love this...shared it on twitter for more to see...peace, love and light
Yes I agree very spiritual And special couple, unconditional love true thick and
True thick and thin soulmates, inspirational couple
Omg she was so beautiful. He is handsome and a wonderful man. I can only imagine the excruciating pain she has endured
This woman deserves a purple heart.
Crying. You are so brave
I couldn't comment on the other video, because comments are disabled. But I just wanted to say Turia is inspiring. I ran track. If she can do it, any one can. I love her spirit. Thank you Turia, God bless you and your family and I hope you have all the children you all desire. 😇
This girl has a stunning man that adores her. Her life, burns or no burns, is so much more blessed than many. I can see what a physically beautiful woman she was and still is, but now we can see what a beautiful spirit she has as well.
Turia what an inspiration. I know she looks different post accident but she's still the same person. People seem to forget that
Absolutely splendid! What life passions are! Such a fighter and an inspiration!! Get up and continue getting up, no matter what! Be well and be blessed! Turia, your voice is so soothing!
She is so lovely and inspirational bless her. I hope she heals ASAP and recovers in and out but she is still so beautiful and as a human too. Knows to appreciate life xx
when I was 17 I experienced a third burn from a bonfire that burnt the entirety of my right arm all the way to the elbow. Turia and her husband inspire to continue on as a burn victim ( although it is difficult for me to describe myself as a victim OR survivor). My scars don’t define me and that’s the best lesson I’ve ever learned. Thank you turia and michael!
I really cherish u Michael for loving n keeping Turia more strong thanks so much
It was his true love for her that caused her to fight to overcome, because he is worth fighting for!
They are both amazing people and such an inspiration to others. They are a perfect example of what love can do!
God bless you both and may you live long and happy lives together forever. You are both beautiful ❤
So much love + admiration for these two beautiful souls x
Love this powerful story of resilience and love, it truly gives us hope that no matter what the extent of our challenges; we can pull through it. Blessings and complete healing for her. Such a wonderful supportive boyfriend who will hopefully become her husband one day.
I could talk the leg off an iron pot, but I have no words for this except - Bless you both.
Such an Amazing story.
Such a Brave, Beautiful young woman. Such a true-hearted, Beautiful man.
Now THIS, is what Love Truly is.
God Bless 💛💙💛
I know this seems off topic, but he's a really good looking guy
She's a beautiful human being right now. Before she had the accident, her outward appearance was also above average.
Yes, he is, but before the fire they were equally attractive. Its amazing what the surgeons have done for her. She is not bad to look at now at all. I have no doubt she will, one day, be almost what she was. Both of them are amazing people.
@@patharbin854 Unfortunately she will never look remotely like what she used to. I worked in a burn unit it just don't happen but she is still lovely with soft eyes and a great personality. She is one of the bravest women on the planet I admire her greatly. She had children now 😊🤗😊
Opulen - Oh DO tell, what hospital would hire someone as negative as you? (And in addition has zero basic grammar skills) What sort of person say's such a thing to a woman who has been to hell and back? THINK before you speak! YOU are the only unattractive person here! Mean people like you never change..."it just don't happen."
@@blahblahblah6499 time for your medication annoying UA-camr 💊💊💊💊
Real hero. Real motivation. Real true. Spirit which goes beyond and up and below. Loving spirit..strong as earth and amazing. Real woman! Real life survivor and my hero forever.
I have such respect for you! Stay strong! Saw you in New Lynn and thought you as well as me need privacy so did not say hi or hug you, as much as I wanted too. You are both incredible!
What a good Husband and a Strong woman! Very good to document these kind of story's for everyone to see.
Hi Turia, you've come a long way. I admire your strength and dedication to get better. You look great and strong. I hope you and your husband have a lot of children and have a very happy life together. "God Bless".🙏
My type of woman. Strong, intelligent and doing good things for others. You go girl. Xxxxx
Love you girl keep fighting and your partner is an amazing man thumbs go up to him love you both such an inspiration to me been through many house fires
After what I seen on this video and others about her..... what can I say other than ..... I love you for your STRAIGHT and COURAGE....... Sorry is a very very small word for someone that has gone threw something like you did...... PLEASE never give up. By the way you and your boyfriend make a wonderful couple.....
big big hug.....
David Lyons
I'm so sorry that this has happen to you..I'm glad you have the support of a wonderful man...Take Care 💕
If I loved a man and HE was burned I can see me staying with that man even STILL.
It's not about you this time.
@@milkyoni i never said it was all about me.
Alot of guys are saying women would leave their man if they were burned and disfigured because they say woman are gold digger's, etc so STFU annoying UA-camr.
@@palerider6099 I've never cheated and never will thank you very much.
If I loved someone, it would be "for better or for worse". I understand you, I feel the same way.
Alanna Amorim your absolutely right! I saw a study somewhere that women are more likely to stay if their husband got sick or was injuried
Such an incredibly brave woman. And a wonderful man by her side who believed in her every step of the way. That is quite the recovery to make and she continues to run marathons! So amazing!!!
There is an expression, "BEAUTY IS ONLY SKIN DEEP," Turia Pitt's beauty comes straight from the soul. I admire her partner Michael for his love and devotion, the courage to help push her and be there for her. I fell that must have hurt him as much as the burns hurt her, they did it together Learning of Turia Pitt, has changed my thoughts I'm being a donor. I have all negative blood and I thought this is the only thing that I could share to help to save others lives is my blood. I cannot donate my kidneys because they're diseased so they would be of no value 21, I cannot donate my eyes because they can't even work for me, I cannot donate my heart because it is defective, once again I am always opted out is being a donator because I couldn't think of anything to give . After watching and learning of her history and the fact about to skin is what help to save her life when I renew my driver's license everybody will see that I have decided to become a donor. I've already decided that when I die that I would be cremated. So now in life as I'm living today I know that by becoming a donor, my skin, could help someone that is as deserving asTuria Pitt, she truly has inspired me, and she is now one of a few women that I can say, has touched my heart filled my soul, and I know that my spirit will live long after I'm gone.
For my year six project I have to do a notable Australian and I picked turia! It’s due on Monday Turia ur so strong ❤🎉
I hope this woman gets the same recovery in time that Dana vulin got. Her partner is a fantastic person too. He shows her what unconditional love truly is.
Beautiful couple, I hope they have a long happy life together.
You are an angel from heaven! I wish you all the happines.Turia is very lucky.love from Cyprus.
Courageous lady, wonderful man.
Imagino a Dor do Coraçãozinho dela se ele o abandonasce, Um parabéns pra ela é ele.
You two are the most courageous, gorgeous, inspiring couple I've ever seen ❤ I wish you both all the love health and wealth you deserve always xxxx Lots of love from the UK
Hats up and big respect to her partner who supported her a beautiful soul in the world.
Just AMAZING, both turia and Michael. God Bless them. The world Needs more people Like them
So much strength and courage from both of you. I think you are two of the most beautiful people I've ever heard about and hope miracles and hurdles are gained throughout your lives. God bless and keep you both. One day there's going to be a very special place for you two!!!! Much love from America ...p.s Now I'm even happier that I've chosen at my death to donate my entire body!!!! 🤗👍🌼💕🙏😘🙋
Love you Michael u r a Great person on earth
cheers to them..god bless u both
The reason why he has the true love is because he has humble heart and believes in the existness of the soul. A true christian for me without knowining if he really is.
There are many good people on the planet who are not Christian. He is just a good person.
but mostly them 99% is Christian
I'm a athiest...and a good person...the first person who gave me a tongue down the throat kiss...was a priest....God doesn't exist
What an amazing woman. What an amazing man.
He‘s lucky as well. What a strong and beautiful woman. Love can conquer a lot. I admire both of them for who they are.
Where else can we find such men 😭😭
personality wise, all around you but you're prolly blinded by the handsome, rich and bad guys
He's not that good
@@numalesoybea1348 You're right. He's not good at being a negative and ungrateful individual like you are.
@@manamanaman no. They hate blue eyes like mine, they want a certain bra and pants size, and hair color.
The guy is gorgeous he could leave her someday
God be with you Turia, and Michael. great man. bless you both in overcome obstacles.
Michael you do have a true 💓 ,you are still with her and I pray that you stay together ,God bless you
Respect ✊ to you Micheal for sticking with your lady.
God bless! He’s a good man. That’s the Definition of a real man. Men take notes.
So inspiring..her strength and courage is a testimony...They make a lovelycouple
SOOO glad nothing happened to your eyes. You are doing well physically and mentally; i hope it just keeps getting better for you. Fire is a terrible monster.
She’s so beautiful and inspiring. God bless them both. ❤️🌹
Her beautiful eyes still shine
