A young man named Kevin Canales, who has a special disability, couldn't wait for his turn to have a one-on-one with his favorite singer.
"I was crazy to meet him in person," Canales told EFE after receiving a piano from the famous artist.
"I am his biggest fan. I took a piano and my sister too, and the girl a basket," the young man explained about the details they obtained in the activity.
The young fan came to the capital with his mother, María Rosado, and his 11-year-old niece, Ordianis Torres, to attend the event.
"It brings us great joy to once again celebrate and deliver gifts to support the dreams of our children and youth," said José 'Che Juan' Torres, Director of the Good Bunny Foundation, in a press release.
"Furthermore, we are thrilled to be part of this event and create opportunities for families to come together and experience moments of joy," he stated. "Our goal is to preserve the essence of Puerto Rican Christmas culture and traditions, which are truly unique and beautiful."
