Andres and his bear
Andres has had his teddy bear since he was 1 year old and it’s traveled the world with him.
“I’ve had it everywhere through everything. I’ve had it since before my mother left me,” said Andres. “We’ve been to Nicaragua (his mother’s home), to New York, California, Washington, the road trips, the street.”
Andres likens it to the Harry Potter character who puts his soul into an object. “That bear is basically my soul.”
Andres loves baseball, wants to be a graphic designer and plays guitar.
