Watching Caesar Sant effortlessly play the violin, it's hard to tell he's suffered from sickle-cell anemia since the day he was born.
As you'll see below, the child prodigy nailed the national anthem in front of a large crowd at a baseball game when he was just 4 years old in 2013.
"You look at him and you just say, 'I cannot believe that he sick,'" his dad, Lucas Santos, told National Geographic.
The boy's condition, which affects his red blood cells, causes him to have great pain and suffer strokes. One of the strokes even made the North Carolina boy paralyzed for a six-month period.
The sickness has also been hard on his parents, who started a GoFundMe page to raise money to pay for Caesar’s bone marrow transplant. His younger sibling, who doesn’t have the disease, will provide the lifesaving bone marrow.
“The care for pre-transplant, the transplant itself, and the post-transplant, the whole thing is very expensive,” his dad said. “A case exactly like this one was done in Florida and cost half a million dollars. You don’t know what the insurance is going to pay. But a life is on the line, so that’s the scary part.”
