For children with conditions like Bohdan’s, a bone marrow transplant is the only chance for recovery.
Bohdan’s older sister became his donor. The transplant was successful for both children: the girl quickly returned home, while Bohdan continues his treatment and recovery.
Whenever Bohdan sees girls around his sister’s age at the hospital, he starts looking for her. And he always smiles when watching videos with her.
Although the main stage of treatment is already behind him, recovery after a transplant is a long and difficult process. We help families like Bohdan’s with medicines, medical examinations, outpatient housing if they have nowhere to stay near the hospital, as well as psychological and emotional support.
Immune deficiencies are not cancer diagnoses. But because the treatment is similar, these children also become part of the Foundation’s care.
Your support helps children like Bohdan move closer to recovery — and to finally returning home. Support them today.
