Dreams to Wheels Shipping Costs

Donation protected
Hello,

I created Dreams to Wheels to gather donated cycling goods for the youth of Colombia.  All cycling donations are welcome.

With a small team in place we are looking to have a positive impact on children who might not have the means to pursue their dreams. For a number of these children, choices are very limited and we want to give them a chance, another option.

Cycling is a great sport, but can also be a template for your everyday life. It requires discipline, responsibility and focus, which can be useful tools when dealing with the world’s challenges.  This is not solely for racing, but for kids who live at a distance from school and may skip out on education.  The bicycle and gear give them the chance to better prepare themselves for the future. 

This is a true non-profit type group. There are no tax benefits for giving to our group. This is done for the simple reason that one wants to do something for others because they can.  Shipping costs are expensive and for the last 4 years of Dreams to Wheels I have  paid for this out of pocket and unfortunately I cannot continue to do so, but I don't want the kids to lose out on these wonderful donations and opportunities to better themsleves.  This is why I am turning to you for your help.  The money will be used exclusively for shipping/packaging costs.  I will ship 1 box per month weighing aprroximately 20-30lbs.  

I would like to kick 2017 off with a big bang and would love to receive the funds by the end of January.  This will allow me to send 12 boxes minimum this next year!

The credibility of this group rests solely on my shoulders. If you are unsure about donating, please feel free to ask anyone who knows me or is familiar with the Dreams to Wheels initiative to get a better idea of what I am trying to do. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

For me, this would mean everything as I know what the bike was for me.  It saved me, gave me opportunities in my life such as school, employment and introduced me to my wife!  I can never repay you for your generosity, but I am indebted to you for taking your hard earned dollars and allowing me to have a positive impact on the kids in Colombia.  

Thank you,
