"I thought I found something that would erase the pain...I was finding a temporary escape that led into a major problem." - Tim Orr
Tim Orr was born with multiple birth defects: cleft lip, cleft pallet, web hands and no toes on his left foot. Tim's mom didn't see him the first 24 hours of his life and was first given pictures of him to prepare her. She then welcomed him with open arms. As a result of these deformities, Tim underwent 20 surgeries taking place every summer. He experienced years of rejection and at the age of 15 turned to alcohol to escape the pain.
