Tim Cratchit aka 'Tiny Tim'... is a fictional character in the classic story 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens.
He is the son of Bob Cratchit. The character is said to be based on the invalid son of a friend of Dickens who owned a cotton mill in Ardwick, Manchester.
In the story, Tim is crippled and very ill, near to the point of death. Nevertheless, he is a very happy boy and is very much loved by his parents; he is best known for the line, "God bless us, every one!"
His illness could be easily cured with the right money; however, Cratchit's low wage from Ebenezer Scrooge does not provide the funds to do so, and Cratchit dares not ask Scrooge for help.



"'No, no. There's father coming,' cried the two young
Cratchits, who were everywhere at once. 'Hide, Martha, hide.'

So Martha hid herself, and in came little Bob, the father,
with at least three feet of comforter exclusive of the fringe,
hanging down before him; and his threadbare clothes darned
up and brushed, to look seasonable; and Tiny Tim upon his
shoulder. Alas for Tiny Tim, he bore a little crutch, and
had his limbs supported by an iron frame.

Hella Gangsta.
