A little boy in a white shirt and a bow tie was led onto a dark stage and left standing alone with the microphone. His name was Christopher Duffley. He was 10 years old, and he was blind and autistic.
At first he looked nervous. He shifted from side to side and bowed his head, and nobody in the room knew what to expect.
Then he began to sing. His clear, gentle voice filled the hall, and the audience fell completely silent, listening to every note 🎶.
Many people in the room were moved to tears. The video of his performance has since been watched more than 80 million times, and it carries a simple message, that looking different does not mean having anything less.
Christopher kept singing with all his heart, and his voice became a gift for everyone who heard it ❤️.
