Homeless man new bike – March 2, 2018


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
