Letino is 6 and has already been through so much

Loading player...
Reach for A Dream is an organisation that is very close our heart and they introduced us to another young dreamer today. Letino is 6 years old and has already been through so much after being diagnosed with a life threatening illness. Letino is a very shy and reserved boy, often quiet in new environments, but once he feels comfortable, his sweet and friendly nature truly shines through. We are grateful to Reach for A Dream, Toy Kingdom and BubbleGum Tablets for helping to give Letino an escape as he continues fighting to get better.
