A young woman named Cassie, who had fallen ill with malaria and was adopted by an American man named Scott, recounts her experience of seeking medical help from a doctor in Somalia. Initially, the doctor refused to help her due to his belief that there were more suffering people in his own country.

Moved by her plight, the doctor agreed to fly to America to discuss an experimental treatment for Scott’s cancer. The treatment proved successful, and Scott’s cancer went into remission. Cassie felt proud of her bravery and grateful for the opportunity Scott had given her to live, and she was able to repay him by saving her father’s life.
