Capitan hit and run/needs new teeth
Donation protected
Help grant Mr. Arreola his holiday wish -- replacing his two front teeth that he lost in a hit and run crash.
"Capitan" Arreola lives his life helping others. As an avid bicycle rider, he is always there when needed to fix someone's bicycle, lead a ride or make sure other riders around him are safe and having a good ride. He cares little about his own needs except helping others.

This is why SAFE Support (www.StreetsAreForEveryone.org/safe-support) -- the nation's first support service for those impacted by traumatic traffic collisions, has taken up fundraising to help replace the two front teeth Capitan lost due to a hit and run crash while cycling.
The story of how he lost his front teeth is a worst nightmare:
On Sunday, December 4th, Capitan Arreola was riding home after having spent the morning volunteering and instructing new cyclists how to ride safe during a group ride. Just a few blocks from his home, Capitan was hit by a speeding car. Landing on the hood, the driver sped away, tossing Capitan face down onto the asphalt -- bleeding and barely conscious. 20 minutes went by before he received aid from a passerby.
Capitan suffered a concussion, the loss of his two front teeth, as well as other injuries to his face and body. Despite his pain and suffering, one week later, Capitan (who always keeps his word) showed up to fulfill his volunteer agreement to Streets Are For Everyone at our event, Finish The Ride.
Without his teeth Capitan is struggling to eat, let alone work with his injuries. Please help us put the smile back on the face of this incredibly hard working and caring man who is always ready to help his family, friends and other bicycle riders.
Dental implants cost about $2,500 a piece in the US. Any size donation helps and sharing this story to others also helps. We'd like to restore Capitan's smile, health and activity as soon as possible, so please act now.
If you know of a dentist that is willing to donate his services for a discount for Capitan, please let us know.
The funds raised on this page go directly and only to help Capitan. If you would like to donate to help others receive the help they need after traumatic traffic collisions, go to StreetsAreForEveryone.org and click donate.
Help spread the word! Thank you!
