It truly takes a village. 💙🧡💙🧡

Since arriving at Truman in August 2025, Robbie quickly became a special part of our Truman family and formed an instant connection with our staff.

Last week, he was able to go home with his parents, Kailey and Greg, and while he will certainly be missed, we are so grateful for the time we had with him. Thank you for trusting us with his care and allowing us to be part of his journey. Wishing Robbie and his family all the best in this next chapter! ✨
