Rap Shmep Yo Kurazh Bazar 2019

On August 17-18, Rap Shmep Yo Kurazh Bazar gathered everyone to dance, have fun and help. With the funds raised, the team will help Volodya's parents perform an operation for their son. Volodya is called a “crystal boy”. This is due to his illness – imperfect osteogenesis – through the bones are very weak and often injured. In children with this disease, a dozen fractures per year can occur. In addition, bones are constantly breaking even when walking. 

Volodia went to school, but in the second grade, he must change to a wheelchair and study at home. In Ivano-Frankivsk, the parents did not find the necessary doctors, therefore, on the recommendation of acquaintances, they went to Kharkiv to the Institute of Spinal and Joint Pathology named after Professor M. I. Sitenko. There, Volodya began treatment to strengthen the bones.

The treatment has given its effect and since then Volodya has not broken a single bone. The examination confirmed that the bones became denser and stronger. Last year, the boy underwent surgery and a special metal plate was placed in his leg. Funds for the operation were collected throughout the region. Recently, Volodya still managed to stand on one leg. In order for the guy to be able to fully walk, one must install the same plate in the other leg. The peculiarity of the plate is that it lengthens as the body grows. Therefore, the plate will help the guy for many years.

Kurazh Bazar will collect all the funds that will be used to purchase the plate and the operation to install it in Volodya’s leg.
