Melvin is an obedient and sweet little boy to his loving parents. He is their fourth and only deaf child. He has three brothers and one sister. His father works as a security guard, and his mother tends to the home and family. Even though Melvin's father has a job, his family still struggles financially because basic commodities keep rising higher in cost, and there are seven members in his family. It is why he badly needs a sponsor to help with his studies. Melvin loves to play children's games and to draw anything he likes. He is also eager to learn more signs to communicate better with his friends. His favorite color is black.
