Tommy and his siblings have lived on and off with their grandmother for most of their lives. Coping with grief, loss, and abandonment has not always been easy, but Tommy has shown incredible resilience. He has found ways to overcome challenges and continues to succeed academically. When he’s not working at a nearby restaurant, Anthony loves to play his guitar and listen to the music of the Grateful Dead. For him, music isn’t just entertainment—it’s healing. It has given him connection, comfort, and strength as he continues building his path forward. When Tommy is around, people can always seem to feel his relaxed energy.
