A face for Yahya: the boy with no face (Part II) | 7NEWS Spotlight 

Cause miracles happen instantly

Praise God! HE used this doctor to bless this little boy!

@@pozv3726 yes!

With the grace of God, with the grace of God always.🙏

@@pozv3726 AMEN 🙏

Exactly it’s not only so he can look normal it’s so he can be a normal kid without a ton of medical stuff and extra attention it’s to protect him

In the first video they talked about how it hadn’t gotten in the way of his brain development *yet* and that really created a sense of urgency for me

exactly. and hes such a lovely lively kid, who can now eat and drink much better while having brain protection etc

So happy that Yahya got the help that he needed.

exactly

Wish they all were like that 🍀♥️

Most craniofacial surgeons are. I know, I work with them daily. They truly are a special kind of surgeon. ♥️

Doctors must b humble n kind loyal wth patients n their families

All doctors should be like him.

Fatima is a wonderful human being.

Fatima thinks that she is mommy

@@charshill2978 , she does .

Absolutely...she certainly does..shes one of earthly gods angels.

@@kenshardware9603 she’s the mother alot of us women would also be to little Yahya, had we had the wherewithal to do it! On behalf of all the women that feel we’d have done what Fatima did had we been able, thank you, Fatima, for being that angel blessed mother we all yearned to be when we heard this story! You know, you did the most wonderful thing for this family & for Yahya, and for us all that yearn to help the poor, the downtrodden, the injured, the misshapen, but for one reason or another we ourselves aren’t well-off or young enough or strong enough to do it! THANK YOU TO THE DOCTORS & NURSES, THE HOSPITAL, THE DONATORS, SPONSERS, AND EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT EVEN JUST WISHED THEM ALL WELL IN THIS ENDEAVOR! This is a most beautiful & delightful story that should be shown en masse to those that are sad, broken, depressed and/or hurting. It will do wonders for their soul!

Ya

He is a hero

Yes, indeed! Such a compassionate man. Three cheers for him for starting this astonishing ball rolling. Without his initiative it might never have happened.

Amazing grace. Thank you

Yes none of this would ever have happened had it not been for the little girls father. That man and his little girl deserve a lot of recognition and thanks

איזה ניתוח מרתק ומדהים. לצוות המנתחים בניתוח שנמשך שעות רבות כל כך מגיע ברכות מכל הלב. והחיוך של הילד המקסים והשמחה של ההורים פשוט עושים טוב בלב. איזה יופי.

That's the kind of people the world need more of. Today it's very much:"What's in it for me?"

Exactly my thoughts from first video... He was so genuine about mentioning that it is not an Experiment and we won't do it if it costs him his life... The honesty could be felt in my bones...

He's amazing! I truly believe he had the best interest of that little boy. No god syndrome involved.

Normal human being that surgeon,need people like this in politics as he said dont experiment on children make it right or don't do it.

Yes, God bless Fatima. She has a heart of gold. Amazing lady!

She is a true angel. What a special lady, helping a very special family❤❤❤

I q😊😊😊q⁶11❤😂¹❤

Amen Bless this woman Lord Jesus Amen

She seemed more troubled over this little boy, than the mother. Bothered me a little

Absolutely, they are special children ❤️❤️

@@sharonisaac445 m

@@gloriabrown6893 m

She helped so much

Agree

Yes, poor people, why do you call a carpentry a science, and maybe you, too, will go through such a thing and see if you call it another carpentry

And our Lord Jesus Christ will take care of the miracle side of things! Thank you God for everyone involved in the process of bettering this little boy's life and the lives of his parents!

AMEN 🙏 🙏 🙏

@@brookejackson9145 bro if gods real why’d he give the kid no face in the first place. Why make his parents worry and docs spend hours stressing when he could’ve just “created” my guy normally 💀💀

@@LawnOfCorn idk why do you type like something that's been born out of a dumpster

Or a medal

: You’re absolutely right. She invested so much time, energy, & money for a complete stranger. Unfortunately, that’s rare. I agree, “The world needs a lot more people like Fatima.”.🙏

I agree with you 100% 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

She's an angel on this earth.

Xoxox

God bless this little boy with all might.

It was actually some minutes more than 18 hours.

True.

My son had a 16-hour surgery. The dedication of some surgeons is phenomenal.

@@sopyleecrypt6899 wow. I wish him a good recovery. Surgeons are amazing people their brains just keep going for so long , to save lives etc.

@@sopyleecrypt6899 Yeah, my spinal surgery is supposed to take 17 hours on one side and a number of hours I can't remember on the other. A two day procedure. The dedication is amazing.

Well said..and yes! It takes more than a surgeon. It takes a team. The unrecognized truly deserve the accolades.

ABSOLUTELY AGREE!! THE WHOLE TEAM, NOT GOD

Thank you for mentioning Food Services and EVS! We work long hours as well and care just as much for the residents/patients as doctors, nurses, and CNAs. We just contribute in a different way. ❤️❤️

Great point - and let’s not forget the OT/PT’s and the entire medical/surgical staff whose work will give little Yahya a chance to just be a healthy little kid.

​@@JennsBigChairthank you! You play an essential role for all patients. I appreciate all you have done for me when I was in the hospital. Thank you.

Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

You are beautiful, don’t let anyone ever tell you you aren’t.

@@x8bitpixel you are very kind. Thank you for your beautiful words. God Bless you! 💜💜

Beautiful. My oldest was born with a cleft lip and has had many surgeries. Still a very handsome and popular young man. I love that you became a model.😊

this is way too close to home. i.m glad the child hasn't entered school yet it can be pure hell and that's when even as a child you immediately realize good people from evil people in the purest form.

@@kerriecardinal68 sad, but very true. The insensitivity of adults leave indelible scars on children. As I grew I forgot about the bullying from the other kids, kids are kids and don't have a filter. Adults are a totally different story. In my country of birth communism took over in 1959. One of their models of operation was to reward unqualified people with power and positions of authority just to get them on the side of the new government. Most of those were criminals of a lesser degree, but others had committed more serious crimes, like grand theft, forgery, sabotage, etc. They were losers who carried a great deal of resentment against those who were successful. Cuba didn't gain independence until May 1902. And its first constitution was drafted and ratified in 1939. It was considered the most progressive in the Americas and granted many rights and opportunities to the population. The resentment and envy of those who Castro put in positions of authority was completely unfounded. Those never took advantage of what was available to everyone. My family was not wealthy, not even upper middle class, but everyone went to school and had access to free medical care and upper education. We lived comfortably and that was frowned upon by certain teachers in my primary school who bullied me and called me names like, split lip, Frankenstein, spitting slob, among other nasty names. So, other children see that behavior and mimic the adults. Sorry for the long winded story. I just figured that I should elaborate further into my particular circumstances. There are also wonderful and very kind people in this world. Like those who helped that little angel so selflessly. Have a great day.

That's what I said as well! What a wonderful friend and neighbor!

YES! It takes a village-always

@@alicat1328 Yes i agree it takes a village with a heart of gold

@@caropapa 💛 (gold heart)

@@alicat1328 💗

I love that statement.

Agree too

and look at him. He’s so cute! His mouth is absolutely adorable, and his nose, of which he will have another cosmetic procedure, looks really incredible already. Prosthetic eyes? Well, it won’t matter to him, but he will be more accepted and less stared at. His parents seem to want that for him, and they all deserve that, and so much more. What a lovely family.

How is he alive? Wow!💓

He looks like a beautiful human child!

yeah that touched my heart too.

The worlds super humans are portrayed here. From Yahya himself, his neighbors and their daughter and especially this amazing loving dr! Fatima is an angel that God sent to help!

Yes I cried just like all of them. It was a heartwarming story then his baby sister was born just perfect.

Touched my ❤ Many blessings to everyone involved

I@@Royalty449

its more Jack Nicholson to me but sure

Yeah, I noticed that too. Beautiful and genuine smile😍🤍

He's truly gifted ❤

Thank you to Ms Fatima yes. God send.

It was actually the neighbor girl's father who did the FB post, asking for help to fix Yahya's condition

@@mrj.kottari8453 I know, that's why i said "her dad", as in Yahya's bff's dad. Had she not loved her friend so much, her dad maybe wouldn't have made that FB post that changed everything!

@Iowegan E E E body a oo a E E E

Amen❤🙏

@@mrj.kottari8453 That's what she said dummy.."Her Dad"

Ohmygosh!!! YES! The World got Insaine... Especially in the US 🇺🇸. The Whole World needs More uplifting stories like this!

Definitely. This is what is needed.

Unfortunately we will always be divided but will always be good be too.

Agree

So true.

Born with a heart like the rest of us yet somehow we forget ours should be used..it to feel for others

Don’t forget the amazing team of doctors and nurses!!! I think they are the unsung heroes

And the little girl's father. He was the first link in the chain that followed.

This noble woman was an angel. God bless her beautiful soul.

May God bless all little boy family and doctors and all hospital staffs and the woman who found them 🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙

i agree with you,indeed Australia is a very

caring country

Amen Annette, amen🙏🏽

@@hazelem1266 Thank you:))

@@suadali9269 debatable

Somehow this surgeon and his co workers deserve a recognition from America

God worked in the ordeal may God to use those doctors and Fatima

Beautiful, Gods perfect love.

I cried each time I see the video of this humanity .,.. m from Singapore where lots of rich people are ...I yet to see donors from SG inshallahlah

Ameen

You are so RIGHT 😍🙏💕

Bless yahyah best friend and her dad and family for the love and caring towards Yahya and much appreciation to the little girl father for but yahyah face for the world to help and indeed he got the help from all the gracious people like Fatima 💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜

God was right there give praises to Him

@@leoniehendrickson2530 Oh please! Where was your god when this child was born? So many people in this story and in that operating theatre deserve praise, and you insult every single last one of them by crediting god for this accomplishment. I'm so glad that these good, decent people refused to accept what god had done and decided that this child deserved better.

@@DebraBing so if you feels like everyone was insulted offences is not given offences is take...even one will feel offended sometime or the other. Where was God....He was right there He will never leave us not forsake where ever we are He is also there to. I know they did their best they couldn't do it with out Him there is nothing nothing we can do with out the Lord. He is the very breath we breath. Thank you very much from your answer.

@@leoniehendrickson2530 l think l made the nature of my offence and your insults clear enough. You're welcome.

@@leoniehendrickson2530 Then why god created him so at first place?

The Elephant Man?

@John Dough ___I do my best!

People that don't have much love and don't have any to spare are everywhere. Then there are others that are rare but seem to show up in just the right moment. The right parents had him and had enough faith to take a risk. The right neighbors lived near with a big heart. The right little girl that befriended him. The right stranger from afar with the right scare in her own life. The right surgeons and staff. They were not astronauts but they all had the right stuff.

So many are struggling just to like themselves

@@claramckenzie6558 your comment is 100% correct

They are most FAMES,, 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺 Better that 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑 those KARDASHIAN CLOWNS family

and the amazing nurses, don't forget them.

Just beutiful all of them.

A hundred percent correct!

I totally agree!!! They deserve all the fame for saving life its amazing

Angels walk amongst us disguised as humans

Absolutely

AMAN

@@misplacedkiwi9498 well said!

God is Great she an Angel 😇💪☝☝☝

A tiny elfin beauty with the hugest heart!

He sure is

Yes.. God bless him and his team!

If you don’t see the hand of God in this then I feel really sad for you.

IN-DEED...

@@ceciliaramos2280 I am quoting the Dr here. I admire his humility. Too often, humans take the credit rather than where it belongs. Dr knows he is a tool. nothing more.

You are right. Yahya's parents are very caring to their boy despite his deformity.

Any real parent would care for "such a child"

@@matthewlane518 you're right but unfortunately, many people are not good or "real" parents and don't keep their children in these situations. I remember a woman in my area gave up her son because he had 1 minor birth defect.. some people are heartless and cold 🤷‍♀️

He's pretty normal in every other way though... But I agree. It can't have been easy at times.

@@merncat3384 what was the minor birth defect? Just wondering. No matter what, That's awful!

I absolutely agree with you!😍🤩❤

Yes, his parents are awesome and he is so loved! His calm, secure and loving personality and reactions showed how much they cared for him from the beginning. Beautiful story all around ❤❤❤❤❤

I agree with you I know Fatima was the person who responded in Australia but the neighbour sent out the plea. And I was confused by the fact Fatima was in the theatre and not Yahyas parents

Maybe they didn’t want much camera time.. the mom seems very shy n quiet too and they don’t even speak the language, so it must be difficult.

@@katybug6572 We don't get to know the mother, what was her name? This was for the Australian audience. And the young neighbor girl, and the father's friend. parents were made generic, too bad.

@@gracewoodard9134 PARENTS WERE THERE FOR THE CHILD. FATIMA WAS THERE TO BE ABLE TO SINCHRONIZE ALL DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS. NEIGHBOURS WERE THEIR CARING ANGELS.

THANK YOU..THANK YOU... FOR SAYING THIS. THERE WAS A FEW TIMES WHERE THE PARENTS NEEDED THE LOVE SUPPORT HUGS SYMPATHY...AND AT THAT MOMENT WHEN I BELIEVED THE MOTHER NEEDED IT THE MOST. THE MOTHER WAS SUPPORTING THE LADY. AND NO I DONT WANT TO SAY HER NAME. YES SHE WAS HELPFUL AND LOVED THE CHILD AND THE MOTHER AND THE FATHER. BUT SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE FOR THEM THEM. SHE FORGOT HER ROLE. YES OFCOURSE SHE FEEL IN LOVE WITH THEM. BUT THINK OF IT. THEY WERE IN A NEW CULTURE NEW LANGUAGE NEW PLACE WITH THEIR BABY. EVERYTHING IS NEW . SHE IS TO SUPPORT THEM . NOT FOR THE MOTHER TO BE LOVING ON HER BECAUSE THE CHILD IS GOING INTO SURGERY. ITS OK TO CRY WITH A HUG TO THE PARENTS . BUT SHE WENT TO FAR. SHE WAS ACTING TOO MANY MANY TIMES AS THE MOTHER. SHE KNEW THAT CHILD FOR AWILE. THE PARENTS ENDURED LIFE. AND YES MOMS VOICE HE SHOULD OF HEARD IN THAT SURGERY ROOM

She is indeed

He has a great name, Yahya just like Prophet Yahya, the son of Prophet Zakariya

💖💖💖🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Amen

There is no god! There‘s just evil

@@sandym2502 Maybe in your life..

God bless the little boys mother. His mother nursed him, brought up a healthy, strong boy. Fatima does this as much for herself as for the little boy.

Great is our God who uses these great people to do a great job. To God be the glory

He's such a living being

Amen..oh Lord..🙏💝💯😊

Why all caps?

@@priss88hdz WHY WAS MY COMMENT AMAZING, I THOUGHT THOSE PEOPLE WERE GOING OUT OF THEIR WAY TO HELP THIS CHILD WHEN HIS PARENTS COULDN'T.

Sorry I didn’t mean to put that comment here. I was talking about the story that it is amazing. I already erased my comment from here, sorry.

It was science and technology that change this boys life. It wasn't a miracle. A doctor that was willing to take a risk. Thank the doctors, nurses, technicians, anaesthetists etc that worked together over 2 years to help this young boy. Just remember it was only a societal stigma that he required the surgery. He was really a healthy boy that would have lived with or without it.

@@werebilbyj4449 the miracle comes at the departure of the woman who helped to find this doctor! We can see that this family did not have access to specialized care and did not have the necessary funds!

That's right it was a miracle...unlike what this Dr. Says...God and all his wonder allowed mear man to attain such knowledge" only through God!!

@@werebilbyj4449 Wow, he would have lived with or without his deformities 😒 yes but quality of life factors in and he would have struggled with eating, with breathing, with risk of infections, and above all.. with never being able to show his face in public without people being horrified and without him getting judged or bullied!! Now he gets a chance at a normal life and doesn't have to worry about all of those things he was at risk for previously.

@@janlovesmany6058 Amen 🙏

I know 😢😢😢

I'm So Glad It Tutned Out So Well!! Thankyou For The Doctors God Bless You, Well Done

Yes she did. She gave that family a whole new life. God was right at the head of this story. What a brilliant medical team with such loving hearts.

His girlfriend????

@@laurencej7792 oh l get it. Sorry my bad !! I thought you meant the reporter's girlfriend. I thought did l miss something? ???😂😂😂

@@DebraBing the kid surely doesn't have a girlfriend?

@@twincherry4958umm no, not for awhile yet.

@belly tripper Managed to help him they are basically helping him get more confident

I'd hope to see maybe two years down the line... How's his speech? Does he like school? How is everything healing? Do they plan on moving back to Morocco?

Yes..me too

They're all in Australia with the anchor baby!!

Barbara Carr so what!. If they can contribute to society and pay taxes like everyone else so be it. Australia takes 200k immigrants a year!. How do you know if the family had been on a waiting list to immigrate for medical reasons and family that baby might grow up to become a surgeon that is doing what they did to improve her brother's quality of life. You have no idea how they're here, they would have to been sponsored for starters and it seems a lot of charitys do actually do the right with donations not like others. How do you know the family even moved here?. This is a old video.

also yahya's best friend's father who put yahya's story on facebook so fatima could find about him and gave him help. bless them all.

This is a story of humanity

Love all the surgeons n team for the big hearts 💔💕🌹🥰 God bless you all may you all b rewarded for the kindness n humanity

Indeed Fatima is a saint from heaven

Agreed!! 💜🙏

Ahhhw! You’re right! We all need to be kind to one another! 💓

The best comment I have read. Thank you!

Finally! A comment thread with no negativity! I completely agree with you. Let’s all teach our children to be like Yahya’s best friend ☮️💜🇨🇦

Yeah v

Yes! This is what I was waiting for too!

Honestly, she probably didn't react at ALL.. I've known kids in this situation and it's not a big deal to them either way.

He will always a friend she loves. She never will care what he looks like. I believe she wants him to be able to talk to her.

@@Inspirekidstoday very very true

Yes what a beautiful thing to do, god bless him xxxx

That must have felt quite awkward for them

@@tanyabrown9839 not awkward just overwhelmed for the little boy

Talk about reversed roles

@@tanyabrown9839 Yes but they may have understood that she is a very tenderhearted person who cries easily and is very emotional, and been thankful that she did get so attached to their son. After all her devotion and emotional intensity wasn't just superficial or for show, she did arrange for him to travel to Australia for the surgery. I am sure they got to know her and appreciated her and were thankful that she was the intense kind of person she was, since it led to their son getting the surgery.

Yup

Very skilled rather.
