New winter coat for Benito just lost his family dog

Posted Feb 2, 2019
Benito is one of five children. He is in need of a new winter jacket, matching gloves and a hat for the winter season. However, his mother is a single mom who has a very limited income who is currently under state supervision. She unfortunately cannot afford to take Benito to pick out a new winter jacket which she thinks will really lift his spirits after the passing of the family’s’ dog.

Benito is 11 years old and lives in NJ

Benito oves learning how to read and write. He enjoys playing video games with his older brother. He also loves to play with his action figures. Benito also really loves his whole family. He often is found taking care of his younger brother by feeding him and helping him.
