Wish submitted by:

Department of Children and Family Services

Agustin's mother passed away when he was 4, and his father was deported to Mexico when he was 5. He was removed from his maternal grandparents in 2019 due to neglect and has since been in foster care with the same family. Despite his challenging experiences, Agustin shows remarkable resilience and is known for his politeness and calm demeanor. He enjoys listening to music, particularly BTS and Taylor Swift, and has a talent for drawing and painting. Agustin loves playing video games, table games like Monopoly, and working with challenging Legos. His favorite foods include chocolate cake, cheesecake, and cheeseburgers. Agustin jokes that what makes him special is his birthday, as he was born on Leap Day!

Agustin has always had a deep passion for music that drives him to explore new ways to express himself. He is currently focused on enhancing his learning experience by playing his own instrument. As he immerses himself in reading music and mastering the piano keyboard, he feels a strong desire to have a keyboard of his own. Owning a keyboard would allow him to practice at home, giving him the flexibility to hone his skills whenever inspiration strikes. Agustin believes that having his own instrument will not only enrich his practice sessions but also boost his confidence as a musician. He is committed to improving and believes that this keyboard would be a vital tool in his musical journey. With this wish, Agustin hopes to take his love for music to new heights and share it with others.
