Making dolls that save children

After a car wreck left her severely injured, Svetlana Pchelnikova turned to her childhood dream of making dolls while rehabilitating. The calamity gave her a chance to re-think her life, and she started a charity that sells dolls to raise money for children in need. Among the people her charity has helped is Vladimir Shalaiko, a brave little boy that suffers from a rare disorder that has left his bones incredibly fragile.
