Al was thirtheen whoand lived in a little house with his parents.

The other user’s correction is also correct, I just wanted to provide you with another way of writing this sentence.

They hadid not gothave much money so their life was difficult.

Al loved music, h. He played the guitar and wrote songs in a band.

The way you wrote it gets your point across but the correct way to write it would be to break up the sentences like this.

Al's parents often came and listened to the songs of the band.

When Al's sister Lisa was born, she was very little, so everyone was very busy and tired in the family.

Al was saidtold by his mother that he could not play the guitar in his home by his mother.

Placing “by his mother” at the end of the sentence can be confusing. For clarity, it is better to put it right after the mother’s action (told).

I would probably write the sentence this way to use active voice instead of passive voice:
Al’s mother told him that he could not play the guitar at home.

He could not concentrate at school and forgot to do his homework.

One day, Al knewfound out that Lisa's heart was not good, and that she needed an operation quickly.

“Knew” implies that Al has always had this knowledge.
“Found out” or “discovered” implies that this is new information for him.

The operation was very expensive, and Al needed more money to help Lisa.

Al was very sad and did not know how to get more money.

His grandfather had an idea and asked Al to write a song for Lisa.

Al found his band friends to disscuss about the song for Lisa.

Another way you could write this sentence:
“Al found his band friends to discuss Lisa’s song.”

They decided opento play a gig to earn the money and createdput the song on their website for people to download it.

At last, Al's family could pay thefor Lisa’s operation for Lisa.

After a few days, the parents brought Lisa to go America to do the operation.

You could technically leave out the "that," but I think this way makes it clearer that the need for an operation is among the two things that "Al found out": (1) that her heart was not good and (2) that she needed an operation.
You could also choose to make it a separate independent clause: "One day, Al found out that Lisa's heart was not good. She needed an operation quickly." It depends on whether you want to emphasize Al becoming aware of the situation, or just describe the situation with less emphasis on Al's perspective.
