Beligto, who has broken his leg 55 times in his life, had the head of his femur dissolve due to the last fracture; the child could have lost his leg. And now: he’s getting back on crutches, moving around the house, and expects to be back on his feet soon — literally.
Although no, this 16‑year‑old boy has already broken his leg 56 times — the last time was during the operation you paid for to install a pin that stabilizes the bone and prevents further fractures: osteogenesis imperfecta is cunning and sudden; a fracture can happen at any moment.
“The doctors also had to work on his knee,” says Darima’s mother. The operation was performed in July, and now the doctors can see excellent, though not rapid, healing on the X‑rays. Beligto can walk to the kitchen or the toilet on his own, eats in a semi‑sitting position, and works on stretching his knee..
Beligto, who is currently studying at home, dreams of returning to his 11th grade — and there’s every chance he’ll be able to do so soon. The boy dreams of enrolling in a translation department and is starting to prepare for his final exams. “The son is gradually moving towards his dream; he really believes he can achieve everything, is full of hope for the future, and is ready to fight.”
A huge part of the preparation for this very fight for our place in the sun is your participation, youtubers!
“We are so grateful!” says Darima. “We had no idea this kind of thing even existed! Such colossal help. Thank you, you helped restore our son’s life.”
