Matthew is a young Hispanic boy who lives with his family in the lower Rio Grande Valley in southern Texas on the US-Mexico border. Matthew is in good health. He lives with his mother, father, and siblings. Through your support, he will be able to participate in a program that promotes love of reading, increases access to culturally appropriate bilingual books and engages parents in reading to children. For many children in the Valley, the books they receive are often the first books they have ever owned. He will also be able to participate in theme based fun-filled interactive activities that help build coping skills and resilience. Matthew is a smart and quiet boy. He is attending elementary school and he says the best part of school is going to gym class. He likes to read Goosebumps books. He likes to play soccer and play video games.
