Children rode the bikes for more than an hour
Thank you for your generous gifts to my family this past holiday. I was forced into early retirement last January 2007 and stepped out on FAITH. I was truely blessed the entire year with God's gifts.
I had informed my family that I would not be exchanging gifts last Christmas. Unexpectedly, your application was given to me. Then your call came with uncertainty. Later, your followup call with possibility. But thanks be to God, He allow you an opportunity to come all the way through for my family.
You were not totally aware of the joy you brought to MY family the day you delivered the bikes to New Shiloh Baptist Church. My grandchildren were so surprised to receive your gifts--it was if you brought Christmas that day. The children rode the bikes for more than an hour in the parking lot and we went to my house to celebrate with a meal. I was so grateful to God and you for bringing so much joy to my family that Saturday. If you could just seen the children and how happy they were--THAT DAY WAS OUR CHRISTMAS.
That Christmas reminded me of childhood--when a child wished for a special item (bike, skates or a doll) for Christmas and was truly surprised and grateful because he/she received it.
Thanks again from my family and me for help making our Christmas a bless one. May God continue to Bless you both and I hope that you will be able to contine to bring joy to others.

Like finding a pot of gold
My son received a beautiful bike from your foundation. He really loves it and looks forward to riding it every time he opens his eyes. Receiving a bike without training wheels is like finding a pot of gold for him. We are so bless to receive all the wonderful things we have since Hurricane Katrina took what we knew as home away.
I am in the process of writing everyone who has contributed to our new beginning here on Angel Lane in Houston,TX. I remember like yesterday how things were so crazy trying to escape with our precious life. Now looking back and seeing how God has blessed us with a new take on life. I have definitely taken this second chance serious and instilled in my son to be grateful for every little thing, no matter how small it may seem.
Thank you dearly for the bikes and I will be mailing you a CD with all the pictures I took that day (12-23-06) to add to your collections. May God bless you and yours in all that you do. If you need volunteers for anything, please do not hesitate to contact me to help. Once again, thanks a million for the blessing of a new bike for my son.
