Why Cycles 4 Hope?
|
I founded Cycles 4 Hope in July of 2008 after spending a Saturday morning in June with many of the homeless in the downtown Sacramento area. I was completely overwhelmed by the number of homeless men, women and children and the conditions they were enduring… people physically living on the sidewalks, people fighting for food, clean water and clothing… people with no means to get to shelter, medical care, or employment… people without hope or joy in their lives. These are the reasons I founded Cycles 4 Hope. I truly believe that something as simple as a bicycle and a message of hope can positively impact a life. Just think… A bike can help you get to a shelter for food, water, clothing, medical care, and a clean bed. A bike can help you find and sustain employment. And most importantly, a bike can help bring back the hope and the joy that so many of our homeless neighbors have lost. It is amazing to think that something many of us take for granted can be so incredibly valuable to another.
