My name is Nathaniel Place. I am a 16-year-old boy living in Massachusetts. My friend Farouk is having an open-heart surgery on July 1st, 2025 to replace a heart valve. The surgery, which he is going to have, could end in him dying, and I think it would mean the world to him and both of his parents if we can raise money to support him after and during his surgery. The money will go towards medical supplies and overall family expenses. Thank you.
