Matthew Flores loves to read, but doesn't always have a lot of material.

马修弗·洛雷斯酷爱阅读，可经常并没有多少书可读。

 
Last week mailman Ron Lynch found Matthew reading 'trash' junk mail in Sandy, Utah, and he asked Lynch if there were any other fliers he might be able to have to look through. 'He told me his wish is to have books to read,' Lynch told CNN.
 
Lynch suggested the library, but Matthew said his family doesn't have a car. So Lynch jumped on Facebook and made a plea1 for people to give Matthew books. 'Let's help him,' the Facebook post said, 'I was given many books as a child, and it's time to help someone else!'
 
That plea quickly went viral and was shared almost 15,000 times. The response was overwhelming2 and Lynch received replies from all over the world, including India, Australia and the UK.
 
The post included Matthew's address in Sandy and people started shipping3 him books, mostly via Amazon. The books came with notes.
 
Lynch said he has been shocked not just by the response but Matthew's want for books. 'Most kids his age want electronics4! It's great to see his desire, and you should have seen him beam when I said I could help!'
