Three-year-old Quinn Waters, from Weymouth, Massachusetts, is undergoing cancer treatment. He is in isolation as he received a stem cell transplant in June and chemotherapy that wiped out his immune system.
Quinn is in isolation and is on a restricted diet.
However, his kind-hearted community members decided to do something special to bring a smile on his face.
Strangers from his local community are showing up in his front yard daily to greet and entertain him.
His mother Tara Waters, who is a Police Officer with the Quincy Police Department, said that Quinn was diagnosed with brain cancer earlier this year, just a few days after his birthday on February 3.
He is on a restricted-diet which include a low-bacteria diet. He is only having fruits with hard skins while he can’t have frozen yogurt, soft drinks from machines, and popcorn.
She said: “He does walk freely, however at night he is attached to a feeding tube machine because what he ingests orally is not enough to sustain his weight.”
It all started when his mother’s friend, who is a musician, reworded the song The Mighty Quinn to fit Quinnie and came to sing for him while he watched from his window.
Then his mother’s co-workers, who were on the Special Operations Unit in the area doing a funeral escort, stopped by to say hi.
Now, strangers are visiting him and doing everything to entertain him.
His mother said: “Some strangers have visited, like a country singer and local radio host Ayla Brown. I haven’t asked anyone who visits to do it, they are doing it out of love for Quinn and kindness of their hearts.”
“People have been so amazing, the sons of the Quincy Police Swat team had a massive water balloon fight through the window with Quinn and he loved it.”
His mother said that this has made his days. It brings a smile on his face and he thoroughly enjoys it.
Tara said: “Every little or huge visit makes Quinn’s day. It’s his window to the world and it’s done him well after being in treatment inpatient at the children’s hospital, where he only interacted with his parents and the doctors.”
“It’s good that he can socialise and stay a little ‘normal’ through the window. So, out of a terrible disease comes some good in the world and Quinn has had experiences some kids never have.”
“He doesn’t ask to go outside or get mad he can’t, he doesn’t pity himself, he has the best outlook on life and laugh and plays until bedtime. His phrase is ‘this is the best day ever’ which he repeats multiple times every day.”
