Now, in an effort to share the love, Tom has gifted his "Corona" brand typewriter to the young boy.
According to the *New York Post*, Hanks wrote "Your letter made my wife and I feel so wonderful!"
"You’re the only person I’ve ever known to have the name Corona — like the ring around the sun, a crown," he continued.
"I thought this typewriter would suit you,” he wrote, joking that he can “Ask a grown up how it works. And use it to write me back.”
Hanks concluded: “P.S. You got a friend in ME!” referencing “Toy Story”.
