Despite the challenges he has faced, Raul remains brave and continues to fight for a positive outcome in this world. He enjoys spending time with his brother, playing basketball, watching sports, hanging out with his friends, learning new skills to prepare for adulthood, creating art, and riding his bike. Raul is unique in many ways and has a mindset that many children do not develop until adulthood. Along with his resilience and bravery, Raul possesses a wonderful sense of humor and a kind heart that will take him far in all aspects of his life.

Due to the circumstances surrounding Raul's recent move, he had to leave most of his belongings at what was supposed to be his forever home. One of the most important items left behind was his bike. Raul enjoys using his bike to stay active and as a means of transportation, helping him maintain relationships with friends in the area. Additionally, his brother, Drew, also had to leave his bike behind, which took away one of their favorite activities to do together.
