Mean­while, his moth­er Sher­ryann Dharam­per­sad said she too felt hope­ful her son will have a bet­ter life soon

«I feel hap­py that peo­ple are will­ing to help. At least one per­son who called said he is O’pos­i­tive and he was sup­posed to get back to me. He has of­fered and he want­ed to know the pro­ce­dure for the surgery,» Sher­ryann re­vealed

She said an­oth­er per­son had a sim­i­lar con­di­tion to her son and had gone to Turkey for a kid­ney trans­plant

«That cost $145,000 for every­thing. We are try­ing to get more in­for­ma­tion and we are con­sid­er­ing all op­tions,» Sher­ryann said
