Thirteen-year-old Thomas, “Tommy” for short, may be shy at first, but behind his quiet nature is a sharp mind and a creative spirit.
“My favorite subject is science,” he said.
Tommy loves to build — whether it’s with Legos or using things he finds outside. His imagination comes to life through his creations, and he’s already thinking about how to turn that passion into a career.
“I want to be either a welder or a pilot,” Tommy said. “If I know how to weld, I could build more things.”
He also has a witty sense of humor that shines through when you least expect it.
“When I get older, I’m least looking forward to taxes,” he joked.
Those who know Tommy describe him as intelligent, resilient and thoughtful. He thrives on one-on-one attention and does best in a calm, supportive environment where he can feel safe and loved.
Tommy dreams of a forever family who will show up for him, nurture his curiosity and encourage his creativity — a family who will help him keep building, both with his hands and his heart.
