His parents work in construction and Hannafy cares for his siblings after school. He enjoys his Cambodian history class and hopes to attend university to become a Cambodian-Mandarin translator.
In January, Hannafy and his parents noticed a mass growing near his two front teeth. Hannafy experiences pain near the growth and has missed several days of school due to it. Hannafy’s parents are worried about the growing size of the mass.
Hannafy traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On July 5, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), will remove the mass. Now, Hannafy’s family needs help to raise $273 to fund this procedure.
