Wish submitted by:

Gavin is a wonderful young man. Right now, he and his sister are living with a family friend while their parents are being detained. They’ve been going through a tough time, relying on this friend who doesn’t have a lot of money. Gavin has some challenges, including a learning disability, autism, and diabetes, but he has a gentle and joyful spirit. He might be shy at first, but once you get to know him, his loving and playful side shines through. Gavin loves spending time with his family and enjoys activities like building with blocks, playing soccer, and working with magnetic toys and educational games. These things help him be creative and learn while having fun. His story is one of strength and hope.

Gavin is hoping for a special gift to celebrate his birthday: a children's encyclopedia about animals and bugs. This book would fuel his passion for reading and exploration, providing him with endless opportunities to discover the fascinating world around him. Gavin's love for animals and nature is boundless, and this encyclopedia will not only satisfy his curiosity but also inspire him to learn more about the creatures he loves.
