And he had a lot of infections. And they had to request a special plane for him to actually get to Boston."Aser's 13-year-old brother, Anas, was also severely injured., a nonprofit humanitarian organization.

Harzallah serves as a student volunteer for the nonprofit. She speaks fluent Arabic and helps support patients like Aser and his family, as well as a 10-month-old boy named Walid. "The first surgery was to open up the skull and relieve some of the pressure," his mom said."He's doing very well now … He's exceeding the the surgeon's expectations, but he still has a couple more surgeries to go."
