Need in everyday places

Recently, Aaron and I found an opportunity to donate a bike in an unlikely place. Without revealing too much information about the person due to confidentiality, we have recently had to take someone I work with home because they are reformulating their life and are now safely off the streets. However, we couldn't donate a car but we received a 70s Magna that was in perfect condition never touched (from someone's garage). The donor simply came to the shop, not knowing about our project and said 'hey i want this bike to go to someone who needs it'.. people are coming into bike shops around the community trying to get rid of their old bikes. There is a need and hopefully Aaron and I can work to fill it.

Long story short, something as simple as a functioning bike that can get someone who is picking up the pieces of their life from point A to point B means more than any of us with a sound roof over our heads can understand.
