My Name is
Timothy
Timothy
Timothy was abandoned at a church. The police were called and they did a sweep of the neighborhood with the child asking if anyone knew who he was. They sent out social workers to canvas the area more thoroughly, but they were not able to find anyone who knew the child’s identity. After failing to find a family to take this child, Timothy arrived at Village in January 2010. Timothy has been learning a lot this year with his new teacher, Mr. Abraham. He has been improving his speech skills and has been learning life skills after school. Timothy loves to play soccer and basketball with his brothers.
