I have learned a lot more about Tim today that so many people are not aware of. So many people ask how Tim came to live on the streets and if he has family. Here are some insights that might help people understand Tim's situation more.
Tim graduated in Oklahoma and attended 2 years of college. About 7 years ago, Tim's Mother and Grandmother were killed and depression began to set in on Tim. His life became a downward spiral into drugs and alcohol and all though he has kicked the drug habit, he is an alcoholic. Due to Tim's alcoholism, he was unable to keep his jobs and about 4 and a half years ago, found himself homeless.
Tim has a brother, which I mentioned in the first post. His name is Stephen James Edwards and is in California somewhere. He has not seen his brother in 7 years.
Tim is going to go to a recovery center in Seattle and the Dolans will help him with counseling and more once he has completed his 5 week recovery in Seattle. Tim is eager to get back on his feet and willing to do what is necessary to get there. I want to thank the Dolan's for everything they are doing. If they can change just one life, it makes a difference in this world.
Tim, I wish you all the best and my prayers are with you!
