| Seven-year-old Hawa's benign tumor started growing about a year ago. Her family is from Sierra Leone. Her father Hassan looks for small diamonds, struggling to make a living. As he's spent more time lately protecting his sick child from those who taunt and would harm her, life has been increasingly difficult for the family. They sometimes go days without eating. | ||||
| Hassan took his child to the hospital in Freetown, where doctors told him there was little hope. There was nothing they could do. She needed a surgeon. Even though it looked like his little girl would die, Hassan heard of the Mercy Ship's arrival in neighboring Liberia, and decided to make the difficult 2 day trip to visit the ship. It was his last hope for Hawa. | ||||
