Toronto, ON – The story of a poor boy who has been collecting scrap for three years to save up money to buy tickets to Rogers Centre to see his idol Bo Bichette has taken the baseball community and social media by storm.
The 11-year-old boy, who lives with his grandmother in a poor neighbourhood in Toronto, has not given up on his dream despite his difficult life.

The boy saves every penny, with one goal: to step foot in Rogers Centre and see Bo Bichette play live.
News of his story spread after a stadium employee happened to see the boy lining up money to buy tickets. The photo of a boy smiling brightly with coins made from scrap metal touched the hearts of thousands of people. Not long after, this information reached Bo Bichette, and his reaction surprised everyone.
Bo Bichette, a young star of the Toronto Blue Jays, immediately took action.

What seemed like a normal afternoon suddenly became a memorable moment for the boy.
“Every time I thought about giving up, I told myself that I would meet Bo Bichette one day. It was unbelievable that my dream came true,” the boy emotionally shared in the arms of his idol.
This action was not only a simple gift but also a testament to Bo Bichette’s kindness. “I was a dreamer once, knowing that there were things I wanted but not sure I could achieve,” he said. “When I heard your story, I wanted to make sure you knew that dreams can come true if you don’t give up.”
The story went viral on social media, receiving tens of thousands of shares and comments. Many people were moved to tears by Bo Bichette’s heart and his extraordinary efforts. Local philanthropists also joined together to donate more to support him and his family, from studying to daily living.
