Henry has a huge heart and an innate kindness toward everyone around him. He cares for others and always wants others to feel happy and loved. More than anything, he loves to watch YouTube and play with his siblings. Not only does he have a heart of gold, but he also works hard in school and continuously pushes himself.
Around nine months old, Henry’s mom noticed that he was not developing words as quickly as his brother or developing as fast as his peers. He was diagnosed with autism, which opened the doors to the resources he needed and allowed him to reach his grade level in school. Through the support of his family, this brave young man has learned how to stand up for himself and fight for injustices.
His mom writes, “I want Henry to achieve greatness. I want him to be happy and satisfied with the life that he builds. I hope that it is an independent life, but even if not, my biggest hope is that he is happy.”
Henry inspires others to look within themselves and fight to find strength in times they think they can’t make it through. His compassion and love shines through him every day!
