Where have you seen "free hugs" on a menu at a restaurant? At Tim's Place in Albuquerque, New Mexico, along with breakfast burritos, enchiladas, burgers, and soups, one can get a "guilt free, calorie free" hug from the owner Tim Harris who has Down Syndrome.
The famous quote from Walt Disney, “If you can dream it, you can do it” has been the driving force behind the life of Tim Harris. Tim has been working at restaurants since high school and graduated from Eastern New Mexico University's Roswell campus in 2008 with certificates in food service and office skills. The 4200 square foot establishment has an "all about Tim" theme. One will find photos displayed of Tim being crowned homecoming king at Eldorado High School in 2003, along with pictures of his many accomplishments in Special Olympics and of him giving hugs.
General Manager Daniel Meeker didn’t need any convincing to oversee Tim's Place. “I don’t look at it as running a restaurant. We want people to come in and we want to provide them with love, loyalty, and a connection," said Meeker. Tim Harris has proclaimed Tim's Place as the "World's Friendliest Restaurant."To find more information go to the site for Tim's Place.
It is an extreme shame that 90% of unborn babies diagnosed with Down Syndrome are aborted. To discover more on Down Syndrome go to NDSS.

90% of babies diagnosed with down syndrom are aborted, and that is around more than six million per year. It is more than were killed combined in the concentration camps under Hitler's rule.
