“Stories like this remind us how important it is to keep dreaming, believe in kindness, and find joy in simple things. It is the sincere emotions of children that make our world brighter and kinder. I wish Amre good health, a happy childhood, and the fulfillment of all his cherished dreams,” Kassymbek wrote on his Instagram page.
