He is such a sweet and empathetic boy. He wasn’t even mad at the kids who said mean things because he knew that they just didn’t understand.

😊😊😊😊 2:06 😊😊
That is one HIGHLY intelligent little dude! I know he will go on to do even greater things in life.
THANK YOU TO to the DONOR and his Family. That was a gift of love. May the donor REST IN PEACE. 🙏🏻
And this young boy to have a life full of success .
That's what I thought seeing those tiny little hands. Prayers for the family and the little one.
Yes , Amen to that donor for being one❤❤❤
That little man is wise beyond his years. His mama raised him right for sure.
I have prayed for Zion for many years and will continue to pray for him.
I just love him, he is a truly special kid. He is an old soul who knows what is really important in life. I love in the video before his transplant he told his mom if his new hands "get messed up" he won't mind cause he will have his family. He was just so proud and sincere, I am so happy he is doing so well. I hope we get to see more updates on how he is doing:)

@@mostlywater7317thats what you are
He’s adorable and has such a beautiful disposition!
What a lovely story. It is tragic that some other family lost their child somehow but they were giving enough to give this young man a new life. A bitter sweet tale to be sure.
He's such an excellent child😊 i hope his hands are 100% functional
The way it looks they aren't. But they are 100% more functional than no hands and that's already something. He can hold things and he can write with them. They don't seem very strong and they lack some motoric skills, but what would you rather have: Somewhat clumsy, half paralyzed hands or none? And there is hope that they will get better over time.
When he gives praise to his mom and grandma, ..."Don't start tearing up". Oops.. too late. What an incredible young man. My heart is swelling with happiness for him. His mom is so proud of him, you can just feel it. What a wonderful video.🥰
Zion is a great name, this young man deserves it.
Dont start tearing up.... I wasnt till he said that. I love this kid
Continue to bless this baby Lord!!!!
Blessings!!
What a sweet little guy! I love his personality and the way he loves his mom and grandma!
Now this is good parenting
Thank you Doctors 😢❤
what an amazing little man!
I can’t believe they got tears out of me in 2 minutes flat. What an amazing kid with a loving family to support him❤
Poor kid. But this is absolutely amazing. Glad he can now live life to the fullest.
Zion, you are a blessing sent from heaven. Thank you for your bravery. God bless you & your loved ones.
He seems so much older and mature than most adults. He’s got so much personality
That kind is an old soul. He’s definitely more mature than even myself and I’m an adult.
It’s so awesome to see him articulate they was he does. He definitely falls into that “people I look up to” category.
Little dude literally got a second shot at having FUNCTIONAL hands. This was 7 years ago, medical science is so cool
He is a gift to the world. ❤
He is so mature. Smart child. Beautiful.
God bless this young man🙏🏾
What a sweetheart he truly is ❤ All best wishes in the future to you and your wonderful family.
Oh my goodness how wonderful! Children are so resilient!
What an amazing kid, blessed with a great mother and grandmother! Keep up the good work, Zion! We'll want to see how you've progressed in the future.
Great kid!!
Mom and grandma must be awesome!
I thank doctors and nurses🙏🏻
Blessings to all!
You are such a hero! I hope you can be happy for ever!
