The way his peers handled Evan Hill, a New Zealander, made it difficult for him to cope. He was teased and called names like “rabbit boy” because of his very prominent front teeth. Not only did it make him a target of bullying, but it also prevented him from fully closing his mouth.

His parents knew exactly what their son was going through, but they were powerless to help because they couldn’t afford to cover the cost of an operation.

“I don’t know where we would have been today without the generosity we had,” Evan’s mother explained.
