Mykola Nyzhnykoskyi had both legs and one arm blown off when he stepped on an errant grenade in his small village in the Ukraine. He was destined to be a triple amputee with few prospects until a group of Canadian doctors working on a medical mission in Ukraine heard about him. Now, the Shriners Hospital in Montreal is piecing the 12-year-old back together.
Mykola is being fitted for prosthetic legs for the first time at J. E. Hanger in Montreal. (Adriana Luhovy for The Globe and Mail)
