Cynthia Guerrero lives near 34th Street and TC Jester and does not have an automobile. Her new job as a Certified Montessori Instructor at Cypresswood Montessori School would have required her to walk over a mile to and from the nearest bus stop to the school. Thanks to a nicely refurbished bicycle from Chain Reaction Ministries, supplemented by a bicycle helmet and bike lock from Houston Cycling Centres, Ms. Guerrero’s commute will be quicker and more convenient. “I’m so grateful to MAM and its partners for this bicycle,” said Cynthia. “It will really make a positive difference in my life.” Cycle2Success is a partnership among the Employment Services program at Memorial Assistance Ministries, Chain Reaction Ministries (a major service project at Memorial Drive Christian Church) and Houston Cycling Centres. The partnership sources donated bicycles, refurbishes them and distributes them to clients who need them to seek work or to commute to and from work.
If you are interested in supporting this project with a donated bicycle, please bring it to Spring Valley Cyclery, 9414 Gaylord, just east of Echo Lane. Or, you can click here to go to the website of Houston Cycling Centres.
