Below is a short note about a bike making a difference.
Gina is a client in MAM’s Employment Services program. She lives near Hammerly and Blalock in Spring Branch, and has been using a poorly-functioning Wal-Mart bicycle for the past 7 months. This old bicycle has continually created problems because of an ill-fitting chain assembly. Whenever she rides that bicycle faster than a slow creep, the chain disconnects itself. Fixing this problem would be far more costly than the bicycle is worth. The refurbished Huffy solves the problem, and will allow her to cover far greater distances in the same period of time.
Gina is looking for employment at a retail store or in a warehouse/distribution facility, and there are many such employment opportunities that can be reached from her home by bicycle. This means she is not limited to job opportunities located directly on METRO bus lines.
Gina is very grateful to Chain Reaction Ministries for the gift of a more reliable, higher quality bicycle that will help her to locate and maintain stable and meaningful employment in Spring Branch.
Thanks, guys, for helping us get her onto a better set of wheels.
