If his sickness was curable I would have cured him. My entire wish was to see him back on his foot and make his family proud. Muhammed was a strong boy, with all the pain he went through he does not waste a second in responding whenever his name was called. 

Muhammed became part of my life just for the short time I knew him. May Allah bless his family for the support they offered him when it was so difficult. May Allah reward everyone that supported Muhammed and his family. A big thanks to ASB clinic in Dippa Kunda,

What’s On-Gambia -is only Allah that can reward you all and may Allah s.w.t reward you abundantly. 

May Allah S.W.T grant Muhammed Sanneh jannahtul firdausi.

I just left Muhammed Sanneh's home. As I sat next to his beautiful mother, I couldn't help but admire her strength and courage. She spoke of her little boy as a warrior. She said, "He lived a long life". 

... Though he was 12 years old, he had been fighting illness since he was only a baby. He once told his mother that if God thought it is time to take him, he would be okay with that. .... he was tired and in pain.... Please, let the efforts on behalf of young Muhammed continue. He left behind a family that needs us now. If you can, go visit. If you can donate to the family. In memory of young Muhammed and all the other children suffering, let's do something. ..not tomorrow, but today.
