Bogdan is 14. He attends a regular school, receives excellent marks, he is interested in computers and writes interesting stories. His parents are proud and happy that they have such a son, but Bogdan’s diagnosis overshadows their joy. The boy lives with a rare genetic disease – osteogenesis imperfecta: his bones are so brittle that they break from any careless movement or kick. These children are called "crystal". Due to the disease, Bogdan was born with broken legs, and when he was 10 years old, he already had 25 fractures: his legs got broken every 3-4 months.

Brave boy underwent more than 10 complex operations, during which telescopic legs pins – special metal rods that supported and protected bones from fractures – were inserted into his bones. After the operation, the boy could do physical exercises, morning exercises and could move independently.

Despite the illness and pain, Bogdan is extremely intelligent boy. "Being a 6-month-old baby, he began to speak, and in a year he could recite poems – the boy has amazing memory,” -says Liudmyla, Bogdan’s mother. “My son was never forced to learn. In three years, he already could read in Ukrainian and Russian. When Bogdan was 8, he started to write wonderful stories. He even created his own website, where he published his tales. The boy developed a web page for the village school he attends. In his 13 he easily repairs computers and works with software."

However, over time the boy grows and develops physically, thus installed metal pins can not withstand the load and get deformed. Now, almost all the pins are out of the growth zone of the boy.

As the old pins severely deformed, and one of them has withdrawn securing bolt that started to rot, there is a danger that the left leg is deformed to fracture, and the pin in his right leg burst internal tissue and come out five Bohdan because boy moves in a wheelchair. With new boy pins can again move independently without fear of fracture.

Let's help Bogdan once more – let his Wonderland live not just in fairy tales!
