Hello good people with big hearts!

My name is Monica Vukova and I am a mother of a wonderful child- the good Bogomil, nine years old. Everyone who knows him knows what an angelic soul he has. The children in his class are looking forward to having him back among them, but unfortunately at the moment this is impossible.Immediately after birth Bogi was diagnosed with a mild form of spina bifida. He was operated three times in Bulgaria.Unfortunately these interventions did not help to improve his condition . His health deteriorated and an emergency operation in Turkey was necessary.

The team at the Ajibadem Clinic in Turkey, who carried out detailed examinations on the child, is of the opinion that an emergency operation should be performed as Bogi is at risk of complete paralysis of his lower limbs.

It turned out that the initial diagnosis- a mild form of spina bifida, which gave us some hope that Bogi could have a normal life in the future, was not confirmed. The medical team in Turkey informed us that it was a severe form of this disease. This is the reason why Bogi's health condition is deteriorating. Every day my child experiences severe pain in the limbs, in the stomach and now in the head. A serious bladder problem was also discovered.

No mother deserves to watch her child suffer.

Bogie is an extremely gentle and studious child and besides the physical pain, he is in great anguish over not being able to attend school. He wants to be with his friends and teachers.

The amount needed for the operation is 58 000 BGN. Unfortunately it is unaffordable for our modest family. Only Bogi's father works and I take care of him all the time.

I appeal to you with a huge request for help.

And as my son loves to read I would like to finish with a thought by Carlo Collodi - the author of his favourite book Pinocchio."

"The hand that gives - does not become poor. A heart that loves does not grow old!"

In the cruel times in which we live, let us follow our bright destiny -to be good and to preserve the most precious thing we have -our children!
