Sadly, however, there are certain times when there’s nothing you can do to help, such as diseases that we have not found the cure for. One of them is called the Morquio syndrome, a rare genetic disease that attacks the bones.

And Bella’s parents had to find out that their 2-year-old had this terrible disease just when they celebrated her birthday.

As a result, when her peers were learning how to walk, and soon playing on the playground, Bella had to learn how to move with crutches and a wheelchair.
