A Pokémon starter set for Dominic's birthday

Posted Oct 25, 2024
Dominic really enjoys playing with Pokémon cards, but he often feels left out because he doesn't have his own collection. For his birthday, he specifically requested a training Pokémon starter pack since many of his peers at school have one. Unfortunately, he can’t afford to purchase it himself, which only adds to his feelings of exclusion.

Dominic Canesa is 9 years old and lives in CA

Dominic is a Hispanic male who has been in the foster care system since he was just 3 1/2 years old. He immigrated from El Salvador at a young age with his mother, who sought the American Dream in hopes of providing a better life and more opportunities for her son. Unfortunately, due to some poor choices, Dominic's mother was unable to protect him, leading to his entry into foster care. Despite the trauma he has faced, Dominic remains a loving and kind child. He has a smile that can truly melt your heart. He enjoys playing video games and has a passion for soccer. Although he experiences some behavioral issues at school, his caring nature shines through, making him a remarkable young boy.
