Hello,

My name is Timothy Colby, you can call me Tim or Timothy, but please no Timmy . I became homeless December 9th, 2024. Felt like my existence ended that day.

Let me tell you a little about myself, I was born in September of 1969, the same year man landed on the moon (yes I’m that old ). This makes me Generation X, also known as the "MTV Generation," the "Latchkey Generation," and the "Forgotten Generation”. Born in Montana and raised in Wyoming, a short stay in Oregon, then Virginia, can’t forget Puerto Rico, then back to Wyoming, all this before starting high school. After high school moved to Colorado and have lived in Denver since. I love the beach, lover of the mountains, adore animals, reading, enjoy

the simple things in life, a good movie , hanging out, and absolutely love ❤️ and adore my Emotional Service Animal my dog Nala (you’ll see her with me all the time).

After high school, was making a trip to Colorado with a friend and fell asleep at the wheel. Woke up to my friend screaming and the car spinning in circles down the interstate, ended up spinning off the interstate and landed 2 feet from a ditch. In the 1990’s I became HIV positive, became undetectable and stayed undetectable ever since. 2016 I came down with’s Non Hodgkin’s Burkett Lymphoma, went through chemotherapy and came out cancer free. Caught the flu in between chemotherapy treatments and came as close to dying as possible without actually having it happening. In June of 2022 my mother, that I was very close to and loved to death, passed away. Later in the year I attempted suicide, as you can see I didn’t succeed ☺️. 2024, had an operation on my right foot and ended up and out of the Emergency Room for minor infections. One morning woke up and my foot had a big yellow spot, ended up in the Emergency Room again this time getting two of the metatarsal’s amputated. Foot almost healed and I end up back in the Emergency Room for trouble breathing, come to find out there was an infection in the sternum and caused some swelling (still on antibiotics currently). I have major depression issues along with anxiety, tinnitus that causes constant nonstop ringing in both ears, vertigo that cases severe dizziness, sort term memory issues and neuropathy in both feet that was a side effect of the chemotherapy.

I’ve done a lot, seen a lot, smiled a lot, cried a lot, loved a lot, grieved a lot, but after everything that’s happened keep ending back on my feet (barely). I feel that God has been protecting me my whole life.

GRIEF, TEARS, ANGER, SCARED, REFLECTION ON LIFE, STAND UP, BE STRONG, DEEP BREATH, HERE COMES A NEW BEGINNING TO LIFE.

Thought about this before but it’s time to put it into motion, living and traveling in a RV is what feels right for me at this point in my life. But where does a broke homeless person come up with the funds to actually afford a RV? Going to start a GoFundMe and see if that works. Been searching on Facebook Marketplace and finding lots of RV’s $10,000 and under. Upping to $15,000 and under opens up for several more options. Because of my lack of know how in under going a fixer upper, I feel it would be the better option for Nala and myself to get a RV that’s in ready to go condition. We don’t need anything fancy, just something nice and simple. Can deal with cleaning a good used RV though. Do know that I’ll need to get enough funds for the extras like gas, insurance, license plates, cleaning supplies and personal hygiene items. I have very little personal belongings now and need a few things that I need to live.

Figured I could set up social media accounts for several platforms so people could follow my journey, maybe they could suggest places to visit and stay for a while .

This would help me get over my troubles in speaking to large numbers of people.

Thank you for your time in reading this and may you have a blessed and wonderful day.

Timothy Colby
