We had the honor of delivering 3 free recycled bikes to 3 very deserving young brothers, who through happenings in life, are living and surviving on their own with no family support, even though they are all under 20 years of age. All 3 of them have worked hard at their jobs, and through their support for each other have overcome homelessness and have secured their first apartment together. That's when Storehouse Community Center contacted us. Storehouse has helped the young men with furniture, beds, sheets, towels and other life necessities. They called us because the boys are all walking 45 minutes each way to work, and they were hoping we could do something to help change that. And with the kindness of our friend Art Garcesa from Christian Cycling Texas, we were not only able to secure three wonderful bikes to recycle, we were also able to provide them with new helmets, frame pumps, extra tubes, tools and bike bags for their commutes.
These strong young men brought me to tears yesterday. Hearing their positive outlook on their jobs and their home, after all they have overcome, is inspirational.
Let's all have a wonderful weekend and be kind to one another. 🙏
