Tommy is a very active and curious toddler. His beautiful smile is a magnet that draws in meaningful connections. He loves engaging with others and is described as a “ray of sunshine.”

Tommy has a tracheal tube, but it does not prevent him from walking, running, and playing with the aid of his yellow backpack which supports his G-tube feedings. He has a fraternal twin sister who he looks forward to spending time with.
