🌟 At an age when most children were chasing games, 9-year-old Eduardo Cayado was chasing something far greater—hope for the abandoned and the forgotten. He cradled injured kittens, carried starving puppies, and gave them safety when no one else would.

🐕 Now 17, Eduardo’s devotion has only grown. He founded EduPacoci, a humble shelter in Brazil where over a dozen rescued animals find food, care, and love each day. To reach them, Eduardo walks nearly 20 miles daily—rain or shine—because responsibility to him is not a burden, but a promise kept.

💌 And his compassion doesn’t stop with animals. In quiet hours, he handcrafts small gifts for nursing home residents, each one wrapped with the belief that “everyone deserves to feel remembered.”

🌈 Eduardo’s story reminds us that kindness is not measured by wealth or age, but by the courage to act. Small steps. Steady hands. A heart that never runs out of room. 💛
