He has two tumors on his heart. With that sentence you can see down the road. Make A Wish will not touch this because I guess it's it is illegal just to be a hacker for good or some bs. I grew up in the era of where you could download a program, ie napster, limewire, icq and be on your way. I keep searching for good hackers but it seems like they have that rep of bad. Please help....Posting this in different communities to help out btw so don't get jealous. Much love to all.

Quick is a problem. Whitehat or "security researcher" are what you're looking for. Tryhackme is a good place for him to start. You can also check for a local hackerspace or makerspace, there's a good chance someone at either would be willing to help a kid out.
