Joaquin, 9 years old

Wish submitted by:

Joaquin is a creative and caring child who enjoys engaging in arts and crafts. He loves playing with his little cousin. At a very young age, Joaquin was separated from his mother and later from his three siblings, who live in a different country. Despite these hardships, he has adapted well to his new home with his aunt and is working to overcome the challenges he faces. Joaquin is a loving and thoughtful child, always helping his aunt around the house in any way he can.

Joaquin is in need of new books to fuel his curiosity! He has to read for at least twenty minutes each day after school, and he is interested in the "Dog Man" series. Joaquin wants to read the Dog Man books with his mother, who he interacts with virtually. He says that reading Dog Man allows him to pretend he is saving the world, just like the character does. Through these books, Joaquin can enhance his imagination and improve his reading skills. Reading Dog Man helps him focus on something positive, allowing him to take his mind off the trauma he has experienced at such a young age.
