Help Advocate for 8-Year-Old, “Toby”

Toby is a sweet and active boy with a positive outlook!  He is currently living with a foster family through a program at his orphanage, and his file notes that he has good mental development and motor ability. He can put his clothes on and off with assistance, wash his face, and feed himself. He is also able to help his foster dad and mom with household chores, including setting and clearing the table, setting up chairs, and cleaning up toys.

Toby is engaged at school and very interested in new things; he gets along well with other classmates and his teacher and classmates like him. He likes to play with blocks and balls, and his favorite programs are Spiderman, Boonie Bears, and Pilgrimage to the West. His caretakers note that he especially enjoys listening to music, and dancing is his specialty…he sounds like quite the little performer!

Toby has been diagnosed with Down syndrome and is noted to have good physical and mental development as well as being an expressive, cooperative, and charming little boy!
