CONJOINED twins, Neev and Nelly Kolestein, have been attached by the back of their heads for 18 years - but that hasn’t stopped their determination to change the way people view disability. Despite only ever seeing each other through a reflection in a mirror, Neev and Nelly have formed an unbreakable bond and admit they would never want to be separated from each other. As Craniopagus twins, the girls are a medical phenomenon; representing just two to six percent of conjoined twins worldwide, they are the rarest form. Doctors didn’t think they would survive birth, and if they did, they predicted they would live a poor standard of life until they reached 10 years old. Proving all the odds wrong, Neev and Nelly are still thriving as 18-year-old girls, who can never be separated due to sharing an important vein in the head. Living in Amsterdam, Netherlands, they have now started their own CZcams channel and Instagram page, aiming to raise awareness of their condition and show people how they are much more than just ‘the girls with a disability’.

Their sister is a soldier. She defends her siblings and seem to go the bat for them. True definition of sisterly love!
I was wondering where their parents were the whole video tho.
understandably they probably just don't want to be on camera
Mike Campbell, good job your ugly mug is not on camera eh
@@MM-dq2pi wasn't their sister or parents, they're adopted from africa to holland...
mattyy101 no they are not they moved with their parents plus they are from South America and not Africa
"I don't even want to know what she's thinking."
"This is the way we can both watch TV... if we can find the remote." I love these little normal, everyday moments.
I was a conjoined twin when I was born. These young women are heros.
I’m so sorry that people have been disrespectful and mean. I wish we lived in a world where more people were emotionally conscious. You guys have accomplished so much more personal growth than most of us. Much love and respect xoxoxo
They were so serious about finding the remote 😂😂...I feel your pain! They are blessed to have their older sister. Beautiful family ❤
Don't be religious
@@Supasmartguy all she said was they are blessed to have a wonderful sister!
Jack Penn i’m literally an atheist and i didn’t see anything to do with religion. even so, who cares? let them be! :)
@@Supasmartguy God Bless you
The remote always between the couch or n the fridge n my house.
Imagine spending your whole life attached to the person that you have never had or will have the possibility to look directly in the eyes.
Mirrors. Photos.
@@hamburgerhamburgerv2they mean eye to eye
Not a lot they can do about it.
@@AdamTurmazhonestly it sounds like hell.
@@anthonyhack1164if does
Its weird to think that they have never seen each other in person
They have throw pictures
You have never seen your face in person
jesseboy347 strang ik
@@JessJess347 that is litttttttttt!!!!!!
I bet they had. Maybe they have use mirror reflections each other to see their face.
But did they ever find the remote?
This is what I n e e d to know
Yes .. they r watching tv with the mirror
You're a mess... Talkn bout "that's what I need to know"... I say stuff like that myself.... lol
Wow, imagine that you have been attached to your sister since birth yet NEVER having a face to face conversation with her.....may our LORD always bless & protect them💖💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏🙏
RIGHT!!!!! That was the craziest part to me! They can never look each other in the eyes
@@Eyeluv2d i know, can you imagine that, or if you get into a fight with each other you cant just get away!!
They can use mirrors to look each other in the eye
@@waurennn oh yeah forsure, but you know what we mean :)
That's what I was thinking, sad really
It looks so uncomfortable but I guess they are used to it. Can you imagine having to walk backwards all the time?
I don't think either of them walks backwards all the time...they shift around.
I can barely walk forwards
About 20 years ago, I saw another pair of craniopagus twins on daytime TV. They were also African-American, but quite a bit older and joined closer to the forehead. They had gotten their masters' degree or some similar higher education, but I'd forgotten their names and as rare as the condition is, I couldn't recognize the likely twins on Wikipedia. I know we have remarkable ability to adapt, but being conjoined is a whole other level.
What you and I and other people might imagine something so difficult, they can't because that's all they know. One walks forward, the other backwards, vice versa.
I would be so tired walking backwards dragging my sister every were. They are cute girls though.
As a twin myself, I could never imagined being conjoined to my twin sister at all - especially considering we hate each other's guts most times. I applaud conjoined twins so much for living the way they do and learning to accept it and love each other.
Honestly the thought of being a conjoined twin scares me
And sometimes some of us complain about little “stupid “things and look these two angels with their positivism about life! God bless them 🙏🏻
after watching this oh lord forgive me for being angry and complaining over a pimple on my face
Here me too complaining about simple ailments when some people have more to complain about but they are happy bless them
Don't be religious
👍💖🌺
lillian mhandu IKR?😅Amen!
How old you child
Amazing. Their fight, their teamwork, it’s all very inspiring. They’re older sister is also a great woman. All 3 are phenomenal individuals. Couldn’t imagine walking a day in their shoes.
NOT FUNNY!
Not Funny at all
‘You don’t have time to live for tomorrow”. So true ladies, live for today!
So true.. but I wonder if one got sick and passed away would that effect the other one.. just a thought.
Séparation est nécessaire !!!
Lord forgive me for not being grateful with my self, I have learned to appreciate everything on me,because of watching this beautiful people.
UNREAL!!! wow what fighters
omg hi kendall!😳
True survivors
True that!
Agreed! Nice to see you here 😊
I was just about to go on your channel for a binge watch after this @kendallrae
It's crazy because they're both attached to someone they will never actually get to see 🤔
If each of them hold a mirror it is possible
Well they will now if they see this video
@@kayla.latrice What I meant is that they'll never directly look into the eyes of their other half, like face to face. It's surreal to think about.
@@tonia1236 Yea, I can see that too, but I mean like in person.
What’s even more crazy is when one of the sisters is taking a dump in the toilet, the other one needs to crouch awkwardly next to her sister while smelling the other’s dump.
It’s crazy
It's so amazing how two people and one can live a life like anyone else! You know how hard it must be if you want to do something else but the other twin doesn't want do do that? These twins are so humble, fair, courageous, and strong
Как все они не могут жить..головы вместе срослись..это тяжело им
they’re twins, joined for life, but have never seen each other eye to eye. may they remain strong ❤️ also loved hearing them speaking Dutch!
Such cute and beautiful girls that have such a big heart ❤️💓💗
Two for that matter! The more the merrier
Tru tru but how do they sleep.?
When they said 👥 ,it hit me hard😔
Are you sure about that? They're BLACK and DISABLE LMAO
Arnold Raffles what??
Man! I can only imagine them doing everyday things we take for granted everyday. These girls are fighters.
Yhh
I to i
I am from suriname also but i live in new York
I rembr this story whn i was still living there
I am happy they doin well and are healthy
💟
bro they make up like one third of the population in that country
I can't imagine the dominant twin walking running and never facing each other the oldest sis is a flower.
I love that they don't let their disablilty stop them ... pray for a sucessful live.... if u love them hit that like button
I was smiling when they tried to walk on the rocks. They were laughing about how funny it was to get across, and I loved seeing them laugh. These young ladies are so sweet and so cute.
They're very beautiful may God bless and protect them
?
I've complaining about being broke until this beautiful scene 😩❤
Wow, this has to be painful to deal with, I'm actually shocked this is working out
Right!!!
Arianna Lenaè ikr
You missed the point.
I have a physical disability, and I can't imagine living with certain other ones. But honestly, for them, it's normal. So, they probably don't think as much of it. Others do because of how they are used to living.
Well I'm sure when they see just one person walking around they think the same thing. They are used to being joined. So they cannot imagine being seperated like we couldn't imagine being joined together with our sibling. But I understand what you mean though.
After watching this I think people should start appreciating themselves. I thank God for the life of those to little angels they are inspiring
Amen to that here I am complaining because I have cellulite on my thighs
True true true
how could you thank a perfect being for such a creation? that being should be ashamed of itself if it exists
@@waifu_png_pl6854 Are you just trying to find every christian and shut them down? I've seen you on like 4 comments!
STELLA NYAWIRA i do and i pray almost every night saying how thankful i am for life
People can be cruel! I could only imagine how these two girls would feel to walk out and have people point and stare. These young ladies are definitely strong! And very positive, I pray for the best for you 2 beautiful young ladies.
Even if you don't love god he love you because he is our maker
Some people feel like other's should be perfect because they are perfect
pray for them screw god if he is real then he is full of sh*t for making all these good people suffer these conditions

i feel like crying but with no tears coming out of my eye
Just your average teenagers looking for the remote. Lord I am 32 still looking for that damn remote
Right!! Lol
Hahahahahaha
What I did so that I don’t lose the remote was velcroed it to the wall. It’s soooo handy.
La
Lol, hope you find it
What had me dead was the sass these two amazing girls have..
Interviewer: What is the mirror for?
Them: If we find the remote, we both can watch TV.
Ok 9
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I feel their pain
I don’t get it
That's not sass its what they always do to watch TV i honestly don't see what is so sass about that
I was watching and suddenly realized that I was understanding everything they said without subtitles and that they're Dutch aswell. God bless them 🙏🏻
they will never be able to look each other in the eye 😔😔
lol
How do you find this amusing?
Poor girls 😓😓
I will NEVER complain about my life again..
Such amazing fighters. I need to re-evaluate my life. I’m sitting here Complaining. Complaining about miniature issues.
Right
Once you lose you learn
Your issues are no less important than theirs. But, it is nice to remember how lucky we CAN be and remember to appreciate what we do have. ❤
Right me too 😢😢❤️
Kaelin Brightman
There's no such thing as "luck[y]"
Only God's providence.
Soli Deo Gloria
They are really holding each others back
Hi baby
This whole family have the most beautiful outlook on life ❤️ I wish them all the good in the world
They have a better attitude about life than a lot of people who take things for granted!
And?
Wow I can't imagine being in that situation 😥. That's why we have to be greatful.
Crown Bisan Amen 🙏🏾
Crown Bisan , And they are grateful. It is their norm, so we must not confuse just because we are different (and we ALL are), that others are worse off than we are.
I have much Pride for them; not pity.
You should link to their CZcams, since they have one. I want to watch their original content but I can't find anything but this video when I search.
It’s amazing how people come up with solutions to problems when they have no choice in the matter. They look like fun people to hang out with, and they’re both beautiful.
Hi baby how are you doing now i hope you are really doing good you are awesome looking at you baby makes happy when I look at your picture it is beyond my imagination that a creature like you really exist like a rose you make the garden so beautiful You are a diamond to any man that have eyes to see goodness of a womanhood Baby am Ben easy going person very understandable Am a civil engineer and a contractor I work at so many places like Asia Europe and Africa I love art craft and I write music I like ideal people when I see your picture am impress I want a good woman that understand what real love is all about who will understand me and perfectly be for me So we can build our world strong enough to care for each other I want you to be mine and I hope to hear from you soonest thanks
Such lovely and beautifully confident girls! What’s not to love about them? ❤️❤️❤️❤️
"when people are overreacting", God I love her outlook on life. She like "it's not a big deal, calm down" lol. They seem sweet
Actualy that was smart quote to say
omg they are so sweet! i love how they’ve adapted, it’s interesting because this is the only life they know, so they have to and it’s normal to them at this point. i love that they’re still their own individual selves while still being joined together. 18 years old is a major milestone when you’re told u won’t make it that far. many blessings to them and their big sister 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This has inspired me so much. With my knee issues it would be difficult for me. My attitude is going to be a lot more different now thanks to these strong and beautiful ladies.
Neily is just dragging her twin, ouch it looks so painful 😖
Ugh I know that's a struggle everyday
Commentator or, the other way around.....
Poor girls
😳somebody dragging somebody that's for sure, I was like wait slow down some..
Ikr 😿
It's great how their hair is pretty good😏
If someone asked about why my parents didn't terminate their pregnancy because of my physical disability, I would look at them and say "why didn't your parents terminate their pregnancy?" And yeah, it's petty, but it's really hurtful what people say in different situations. Just think before you speak. Why would you even ask someone that?
I was wondering when I'd find this comment.
Chalsey Wilder, and i bet you agree don't you
I got sad and overate because I have stress fractures. I watch these 2 lovely ladies and I've found inspiration to just make the most out of my life right now.
Oh my God, what will happen if one dies before another
I was literally just thinking that, that would be terrible... you'd have to cut them off somehow I guess. The scariest part is one of them probably will die first, I really hope technology advances so people born this way can be sperated everyone deserves a chance to live life to the fullest, they seem to be making the most of it tho so fair play to them!
Omg I never thought of that question, until U stated it. That would be terrible because they can’t be separated because of the artery they share.. I don’t even wanna think about that, I pray the good Lord let them live a good long life!! I hope soon science will come up with a solution.
I think they will die together. Separation can't take place without killing them.
they will both die, they share the same main artery in the brain
if they cant cut the other off then the will stay together and she will just have a dead body with her. not to be urde.
i find it disrespectful to thank the lord that youre situation is obviously much more simple then theirs. even though they have accepted it god puts everyone in different situations for a reason. never compare them.
I agree, it is disrespectful to thank god that you think you are so much better off than them. We're all learning lessons all throughout life just like they are. We all have challenges in different ways, these girls are not to be pitied, but are to be celebrated for doing so well in their life.
💯
James 1:13. This is not God doing, this is due to sin.
xoxo raven I dont believe in a man that made a sea split up and bring death back to live...
Damn it, you were spot on until you said "God puts everyone in different situations for different reasons.
God bless them 🙏😇💓 I'm not complaining about nothing else. Thank God for life 🙏💜
God made those girls.
@Barry Midikiner xD D D you make me laugh friend.. thanks
God made them like that

Hi beautiful girls! Thank you for sharing your videos with all of us. I wish I knew you in person because you both seem to be very happy and a lot of fun! Sending lots of love😘😘😘💞💞💞
I'm tired of people blaming Everything on voodoo. These are two beautiful young angles.
Angels* but yes I agree
Yes, I agree. Sadly though, parts of the world just resort to blaming these things on "voodoo", and such things. It's very sad that they isolate the person(s) and their families because of how they are.😔
Here I am complaining about my life and these beautiful girls are just as happy how God made them. Stay sweet young ladies bless you 🙏❤
Powerful words You're also kind,
all they have to do is give thanks for life
I love y'all energy, you are inspiration to others.. much love to you both
It makes me happy that they can live a normal life beyond what their doctors expected. That mirror hack is crazy smart!
Such beautiful girls. May they prosper and have continuous blessings.
Ra
Amen
Hi heart 💞
Some people are so ignorant. I'm sorry, but it really annoys me when people blame physical disabilities on voodoo or a curse or punishment from the gods. It's simply genetics and a malfunction with that.
Anyway, good for the twins for trying to live life to the best of their ability.
God I say thank you for hiving me this life I have today
Aw I just love their tenacity God bless them both they are so beautiful and intelligent. They might not be separate but as a whole conjoined together they are a force to be reckoned by the Creator.
They are very beautiful. I love them and God will bless their sister.
Yes!! Perfect response.
I think they are uniquely beautiful and so proud that they can be independent and live life to the fullest with their ability to adapt to their surroundings.
Independent yes, but they can never be individuals and choose separate careers, friends or partners. They can't just do what they want cause everything they do has to be wanted by both sisters and not having that individuality is torture
@@caramelcupcake1275 Indeed Caramel, I myself cannot imagine not having my own individuality. Making decisions with my siblings all time that I'm conjoined with, and not making my own is hell.
We never really, Really, REALLY know how BLESSED we Are until we see stuff like this. Be & Stay Grateful Always....... 💯😇
This breaks my heart
Most important questions are
1. What happens when one of them die
2. How do they use the restroom
XboxClipsツ omg your first question... I’m thinking so hard for solutions and I can’t think of one !!! That’s so sad & scary
To answer, since their Brain is connected, if one of them is getting weak or close to death, the other one will feel the same too.
2- they probably have their mom to change them because it will be hard to be on the toilet for them
I think that's up to the doctors to decide.
I believe most of thier vital orgiones are connected therefore if one of them has to go the other won't stay long before she follows!
People, clearly stated the only thing shared is a major artery, the reason for no separation.
This really puts our struggles to shame! They are thriving. Love it!
Michelle I agree
Yes my friend real shame so so true

Ihv been complaining for God not giving me height and big bums but after watching this vedio i dropped tears serious ,now am contented with what he gave me
If they can be happy like that then I can be happy no matter what life throws my way
Melissa Garcia I Agree ❤️
I have no reason to complain whatsoever ,,this girls are beautiful ❤ 💋
This is beautiful! Love you girls so much, you seem like such sweet people! ❤️❤️
It's sad, that those two sisters can never completely take a look at each other.
Wooooow that's crazy. Seeing stuff like this makes you not wanna complain about nun
Why would you complain about a nun?

Those two girls r adorable
They r so sweet and such a great inspiration to all of us!
Stay strong girls! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
They can make it. People are stronger than we tend to give them credit for.
i would worry about my attached twin dying and me being healthy but dying because of her sad:(
With conjoined twins, they typically die within hours of one another... Having a dead body attached to you isn't great for your health, as it turns out.
Oops. I hadn't thought of that. Since they share an important artery I would imagine when one falls sick, so does the other.
Oh, but you wouldn't necessarily die. In that case, I'm sure doctors would try an emergency separation. You could then have that shared vein in the head to yourself. Maybe it would work.
Im in tears I love them so much for being so grateful of their life and just learning to live everyday and love....everyone in the world can learn from these two how to appreciate life💕😩😥
They are very sweet and positive girls and they are enjoying life to the fullest!!! I love how much they love and appreciate their sister!!!
Wow...some of us get are dealt some difficult cards in life...they seem like they are well adjusted..I guess they don't have a choice..it does deeply sadden me though.. but as long as they are happy...I wish there was a way we could donate to them or they could receive support from us thru your platform!
They have a youtube channel here, you can subscribe to them, then inbox. I'm sure they've also put their email on their channel info. bar. God bless your Kind heart for wanting to do more for them.
I just lost movement in my legs and its been rough i never thought it would effect me this way i have been crying and laying in bed for days ! I just saw this and i realize im lucky and someone always has it a little wrose .there is alot i can still do . and i am grateful thank you for sharing your story

What kills me is people being rude to people like these girls. They never ever ever will know how it’s like to live with their condition and they have no right to voice their nasty words. They’re beautiful young women
honestly am speechless 😢
Lord am forever grateful let us learn how to appreciate who we are nd what we are😢😢.....I LOVE YOU GUYS
I have arthritis in my neck and back. I can’t imagine what kind of pains they go through everyday. They keep smiling and thriving, though.
I thank the Lord that you can see both sides of your hand and also all the way around, so you see the enemy want us to complain to take our blessings away
