Trey Miranda has no shortage of family and friends in town.

People came out in droves Saturday night to take part in a fundraiser for the teen, who was diagnosed with brain tumors that can only be treated with radiation.

Money raised from the event will offset the many bills and travel costs the family has had to pay since Miranda's diagnosis in November 2015.

Miranda recently returned home from a months-long stay at Boston Children's Hospital, and will be receiving chemotherapy at home. The support Miranda has gotten before and after he came back has meant a lot to his family.

"The Wareham community has been so amazing that it's overwhelming," said Trey's mother Teena Miranda. "Even people we don't know have gone up to Boston to visit."

Wareham High School students have been selling t-shirts and key chains to help and honor Miranda since December 2015. Some visitors from Wareham have been so moved by his story that they made the more-than-50 miles journey to show their support by visiting Miranda at the hospital in Boston.

"Wareham residents truly come out to help when somebody is in need," said Onset resident Lynn Spinola and a lifelong friend of Trey's mom.

Miranda sat at the end of a table at the VFW with his friends, after a day of catching up with them. Family and other guests came up to him throughout the night, offering words of support and asking if he needed anything.

Lately, Miranda said he has been adjusting, and getting back to doing what 17-year-olds do: hanging out with friends and playing video games.

"These last few weeks he hasn't been able to do things a kid wants because of the treatments," Teena Miranda said.

Miranda said the event meant a lot to him.

"Everyone is coming out to have fun with me," Miranda said. "I feel good."
