To help Bogdanchyk

"Bogdan's born was very difficult, he weighed 4.2 kg, it was a difficult birth. I took the ambulance to the hospital because I was in serious condition. Bogdan's very nice, dark-haired and curly. I kept asking the doctors why my boy's not crying, and I was convinced that all's well. However, he could not breathe independently and became blue-coloured. Then he was placed under breathing apparatus, but doctors were unable to revive and urgently sent him to Zhytomyr. Thus began our journey of the struggle for life".

"A few days later my mother came and said that doctors are advised to disconnect the child from the unit, but we refused, and on the same day the boy was christened God to help. Doctors in the day fought for his life, and thanked God – the child began to get out, breathe independently, and it was a miracle. So we called and son Bogdan – "God-given." A good name, it is very suitable. Bogdan is a strange boy, but sometimes, like all children, capricious and crying. I think hard and painful that I could lose it forever, because he is the best child on earth.

Now Bogdan has cerebral palsy. Child is difficult, it is like the other kids want to run, talk, play with other children. In his village there is a playground, and they go there with my mother every day, he likes to ride on the swing and watch the other children, but sometimes it feels like BOGDANCHIKOV smiling, as if he is happy, looking at the other children.

We have grown, we have 4 years. And all this time we are treated and fighting for his health. I hope that he'll be fine. The world a lot of good people, and they helped me and talked about "the Institute of Pain" and Dr. Berseneva VA, and I am grateful for that. We are treated, and we have the results.

I will be very grateful to everyone for their support and indifferent kindness, I'll not be able to pay for treatment of a child, and it helps him so. Thank you for being there and helping many children. You are doing a great job. Unfortunately, for further treatment we did not have enough money, but to continue – you must! Help cure Bogdan, even if he finds out, finally, that such children's games and share the joy with other children their carefree life!"
