‘Sense of Pride’ – A BRIT soldier, who raised £140,000 to pay for life-changing surgery for a Bosnian boy he met on patrol, has said he feels a ‘tremendous sense of pride’ as the lad turns 21
Wayne Ingram, from Portland in Dorset, met Stefan Savic, a four-year-old with a rare facial deformity while on patrol in Bosnia
Stefan had been born with a facial cleft – a block of bone in the centre of his face – which was crushing his skull and forcing his eyes apart to the point he was struggling to see properly
Big-hearted Wayne, a dad-of-four, was so moved by Stefan’s condition, he promised to get him life-changing treatment back in the UK
He raised an extraordinary £140,000 for Stefan’s surgery and, after five operations – the final one in October 2016 – Stefan completed a full recovery
Stefan turned 21 in January and is now living a full and happy life
