Receive Text UpdatesRio is a very happy, loving, energetic and curious little boy with a wacky sense of humour. He loves to make funny faces but he can also be very shy and serious at times. Rio's extended family always looks forward to their day of fun filled entertainment with him.
What are Rio's favorite activities?Rio is a HUGE animal lover - particulary goats and chickens. He could feed them until the sun goes down! Grandma's cat and his 2 rescue dogs at home always get the best hugs and kisses. He loves to help bring recycled bottles to the store and put the change in his piggy bank weekly to give to a dog rescue society one day. Reading books on Peppa Pig is another all time favourite activity :) Rio also loves travelling, playing the piano, riding his bike, gymnastics and swimming in the ocean.
How would $25,000 impact your family?That amount of money would be an incredible gift in order to help Rio with his education in the future or 1:1 supports to help him learn and adapt better in daycare and school. The earlier we can provide him that support the more successful he will be! We will also give a large majority to a young man who lives in another country and is raising his Brother's baby . They deserve it. And Rio wants to put a little bit more into his dog rescue piggy bank 💕
