Bike Across America to Build Homes for Colombians

More than 662,146 Colombian families experience homelessness every single day. Many fight for survival in slums that lack humane living conditions.

This past March, my friend and I visited one of these slums and raised over $8,000 to build permanent homes for a few impoverished Colombian families. To our surprise, we were able to construct simple, permanent homes for 5 Colombian families! Among these families were many children whose lives were forever transformed. A lack of hope for any social mobility in their lifetime was replaced by an optimistic outlook on their futures thanks to a safe and secure place to call home, off the streets.

Since building these homes, I’ve realized that I cannot sit idly by as more of these children suffer. Should the goal of this fundraiser be met, hundreds of people will be taken off the streets and moved into permanent, secure housing.

In an effort to raise these funds, I will be biking 4,205 miles across America, as a ‘Bike Across America’ fundraiser. I will begin in Heceta Beach, OR on September 3, 2023 and follow the TransAmerica Bike Route some 4,200 miles to Yorktown, Virginia. There will be no motor but my two legs. My wife, Mikaela, will be following along in our van and then heading down to Colombia with me to build the homes!

Any gift makes a difference! A wonderful way you can give to these Colombians is by ‘sponsoring a mile’. To reach our goal of $100,000, each of the 4,205 miles I will be biking is ‘worth’ $23.78. This is a great way to help these Colombians, even if you don’t have a ton of money to give.

As always, 100% of the money you give will go DIRECTLY to the Colombian poor. My wife and I will NEVER take a cut from any gofundme fundraiser.

When you give, you’re not only changing hundreds of lives in one of the most impactful ways possible, but you’re changing the reality for future generations as well. The generations to come will have safe, clean places to live instead of inhumane living conditions. Please SHARE with your family and friends to get the word out. Thank you for your time!
