Giovanni is just starting to open up. He was forced to care for his younger sisters before he came into care. he was placed in a home by himself so that burden was taken from him although he still worries about how his sisters are doing. when asked if he could have one thing for Christmas what would it be he said that he wants a scooter like his foster cousin. His face lights up when he is riding her scooter. He wishes he had one of his own.
