A request from a 10-year-old boy, Lasha, who has never had a whole toy.
A request from a 10-year-old boy, Lasha, who has never had a whole toy.
My name is Lasha, I'm 10 years old. But I have never had a whole toy. My dad died seven years ago, and my mom and I and my little brother were left all alone. Our orphan's pension sometimes isn’t even enough for food, let alone toys.
My only friend is an old, rusty bicycle. Its front wheel is punctured, and it's in really bad shape now. Could you “heal” it? If there were hospitals for bicycles, I would take it there…
You know, I dream so much about a new bicycle - I want a red and speedy one! I'll let my brother ride it and any friend who asks. I would be the kindest boy in the world! I would study even better, though I am already a straight-A student. Please make my wish come true! I will say "thank you" many, many times!
