Ilya needs a special device to protect his leg from a fracture.

Ilya is 13 years old. He is in the 7th grade, loves sculpting with clay, cooking with his dad, and dreams of visiting Sankt-Peterburg again. What impressed him most was the metro, where everything seemed so amazing and beautiful.

But for now, Ilya rarely leaves the house. The boy has a congenital pseudoarthrosis of the tibia. Over his life, he has undergone ten surgeries and still moves around on crutches.

After many years of treatment, the bone has finally started to heal. Now Ilya has a chance to walk on his own. But there is a problem: the bone remains very fragile, and one leg is 10 centimeters shorter than the other.

To protect his leg from fractures and help Ilya take his first independent steps, he needs a special orthopedic device.

Government certificates cover only part of its cost, and the family cannot pay the rest.

Let’s help Ilya take his first steps without crutches and see his beloved Peterburg again!
