His aunt, Desiree Hager, expressed her thoughts on the community’s overwhelming love for Lincoln and his family. “They’re trying to do anything they can at this point to find something that will cure him or at least let him live for a little bit longer,” she said.
- Lincoln enjoys basketball and playing Roblox.
