"There's more to you than this disease" says Natalia Villegas. Meet a teen with an incredibly rare condition, whereby bones are quite literally vanishing.

There are only 100 known cases in the world; there is currently no cure.

My Name is Blessing
A young African boy runs smiling to school. All but two fingers on his hands are malformed
I wish I could see what you see up there in that blue, blue sky.

Two young children touch hands as they swing in the air like acrobats
If they knew me a little better, they would see that I'm not that different.

Down became up. Dim became bright. Gloom became glad.
