A homeless frequently visits the ETT Food Truck by
bicycle. He has been in and out of
shelters since his release from prison but early on he received a donated
bicycle. He was very much appreciative of
the bicycle and took very good care of it.
He had on occasion asked for a new light or seat or a new tire but
nothing major. One day he went into a
convenience store that he normally visits and had locked his bike up when he
went into the store. This past month
when he went into the store he came out t find the lock cut and his bicycle
stolen. He was able to get a very used
bike form the local homeless shelter but in needed work. The rear rim was bent and he needed a new
tube and tube. C4$ checked to see if
they could help but the parts were getting up there in cost. C4$ hasn’t had as big request in a while and
had enough funds for a new bike. The new
bike was not that much more than the needed parts. The fellow was thrilled with the bike as he
was only expecting to get his repaired.
New bicycle – $160.00
