Franklin is a vibrant youth with an amazing ability to show love and connect with those around him. His radiant smile lights up when he sees familiar faces, and he expresses affection by grabbing your hand and placing it on his face. He thrives in nature, enjoys strolls in his wheelchair, and loves toys that light up and play music. Arts and crafts at school and watching his favorite show, Bebefinn, are also highlights of his day. Franklin’s happiest moments are spent with people who care for him, and he delights in giggles when tickled or when simply sharing time together. An ideal family for Franklin would be nurturing, experienced with or open to caring for a medically fragile child, and ready to support his potential to grow in a loving home.
