Tommy, 2, has a beautiful smile

Her beautiful smile is like a magnet that attracts meaningful connections. She loves interaction with others and has been described as “sunshine.”

Tommy has a tracheostomy tube, but that doesn’t stop him from walking, running and playing with the help of his yellow backpack, which supports his G-tube feeding.

He has a fraternal twin sister with whom he looks forward to spending time.
