"It takes courage to love, but pain through love

is the purifying fire which those who love

generously know. We all know people who are

so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves

up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing,

receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is

a mere living death."

Subject: [atlanta_women_cyclers] Trike needed for autistic youth (adult size)

 

Hello, friends!

A Sopo volunteer is in need of an adult-sized tricycle for his thirteen year old son who is autistic.  He'd like for his son to be able to get in on the fun of riding bikes, but an ordinary bicycle is a no go.  The family doesn't have a lot of money to spend, so I'm writing to ask if there's anyone out there with..
*a trike to donate,
*ideas about where to get a quality trike for cheap,
*and/or money to donate to the cause.
The trike doesn't need to be in great shape, since this volunteer is rather handy.  All contributions to Sopo are tax deductible.

Additionally, we are working on a trike for another person who has a disability, and we'd like to be able to continue to help out more folks in need of alternative bicycles.  If you are interested in supporting Sopo in this or if you have ideas about where to find resources to make this sustainable, please let me know!

Love, Peace, and Bicycle Grease,
Rachael
