Roman Oleksiv, 8, is a victim of a Russian missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022. He suffered burns to almost half of his body.

Carl Gustav Carus University Hospital l in Dresden performed three surgeries a week to help Roman recover. There, for the first time since his injury, he opened his eyes and took his first steps.

Now, Roman and his dad have returned to Lviv, where he will undergo rehabilitation in the burn unit at St. Nicholas Hospital. A team of doctors works hard to restore the boy's arm and foot. Roman dreams of returning to playing the accordion and organizing a concert for his doctors once he is well.

Roman's mom, who was killed on that terrible day of the strike, will no longer be there to hear his music.
