Explanation

We are hugely grateful to Mr Kostolny for making our little girl better. He has been so kind and supportive since the first day we met, always explaining everything and reassuring us. He is always so lovely with our daughter too. Our little girl has a beautifully small scar from her surgery, is healing really well and can now go on and enjoy her life. Thank you Mr Kostolny for everything!
