The link above is for Tommy's memorial fund, and I'm hoping if you can, you'll consider donating any amount to help find a cure for Angelman Syndrome, or to help with medical research on issues such as sleep assistance and seizure control. The Angelman Syndrome Foundation(ASF) is listed by charity navigator as among the best, and as someone who's been supported by them over the years, I can tell you firsthand that they do a lot for families. One of the hardest things after getting the diagnosis, is thinking that you are all alone with this. The Foundation goes out of its way to connect families, so that you can be a support network for each other, and has conferences to learn about all of the new devices that can help angels succeed in their lives.
Any donation is worthwhile, whether its $1, $5, or $10. It doesn't matter, because those dollars add up, and are a wonderful tribute to Tommy's constant fight to be the best he could. Thank you for all of the support, and even looking at the angelman website (http://www.angelman.org/) would be a fine way to spend just a couple of minutes. You'll be surprised what you can learn from an angel, because while they are born with numerous learning challenges, they are as close to perfection as humans can be.
