Timothy's father fought in Vietnam, then became a farmer and married a schoolteacher. Timothy's parents were murdered in a poisoning plot when he was only two months old. His grandmother took him in, but never told him the truth about the murders. She did the best she could to care for him, but having no income, could not send him to school. Timothy arrived at our home in May of 2001. He is an excellent student and a clever, lovable boy who loves telling jokes and stories. He hopes to someday help other children as he has been helped.
