今年4月，這位三歲的小男孩被診斷出患有髓母細胞瘤，這是一種腦癌。由於治療的艱難過程，他一直呆在家裡，限制飲食。

但無論是朋友還是陌生人，每天都會來到他的前窗和他打招呼，逗他，試圖幫助他在有健康問題的情況下享受生活。
Whether it"s someone performing a song, a juggling trick or just driving by to honk, Quinn will watch on elatedly by his room"s window as the show unravels before his eyes.
無論是有人在表演歌曲，耍雜耍，還是只是開車路過按喇叭，奎因都會興高采烈地站在他房間的窗戶旁，看著他眼前的節目。

「他的限制包括低細菌飲食，即果皮堅硬、可以徹底清洗、只能在美國種植的水果，不能喝冷凍酸奶、機器製作軟飲料、爆米花和冰。」
"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.
「他可以自由行走，但在晚上，他要依靠餵食器，因為他口服的食物不足以維持體重。」
"The visits started when a friend of mine 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.
「我的一位朋友是一位音樂家，他為奎因改寫了歌曲《強大的奎恩》的歌詞，並在奎因從窗口觀看的時候為他演唱，就這樣大家開始了不定期造訪。」
"Some strangers have visited, like country singer and local radio host Ayla Brown.

"So, out of a terrible disease comes some good in the world and Quinn has had experiences some kids never have.
「所以，拋開可怕的疾病不說，也有一些好處，奎因有過一些孩子從未有過的經歷。」
"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.
「他不會要求出門，也不會生氣，他不會自怨自艾，他對生活有著最好的態度，他會笑著玩到睡覺。」
