It's our pleasure to introduce you to the children in our Yakima Valley who have made our area brighter with their charisma, personality, fortitude, and courage. It's something we do every month so make sure you keep checking in and checking back to find more stories.

Like this one all about Josue.

Josue was diagnosed with autism at an early age. Thanks to the services of Children's Village, Josue was able to take advantage of speech therapy, behavioral therapy, occupational therapy, and was in ABA (applied behavior analysis).

With these services from right here in Yakima Josue has been thriving.

Children's Village is fantastic and Josue won't let a diagnosis get in the way of him still being a kid.

Like most typical kids, he love pizza, chicken nuggets, and french fries.

If jumping in puddles was an Olympic sport, he'd place gold.

For future hopes and dreams, he's still undecided on what he wants to be when he grows up. In the meantime he's creating and editing videos.

Josue is loved by his family as he spreads giggles, joy, and silliness everywhere he goes.
