Thomas sustained multiple dog bites during an unprovoked attack by two dogs in a neighborhood. He was brought to a local hospital, and then to Le Bonheur due to the extent of his injuries. He underwent multiple inpatient and outpatient procedures to heal the wounds.

Thomas is a very kind and intelligent child. “He has been extremely brave through multiple scary and painful experiences,” said his Child Life Specialist Kayla Black at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital inMemphis, Tennessee. Kayla nominated Thomas as a Hero, and Kids Wish Network is so pleased to award him for his courage amid so much pain and uncertainty.
