Help Bring Back the Boys Bikes

Hi everyone, I am a friend of Autumn’s for the past nine years in our community of Audubon. She is a widowed mother who works very hard every day to provide for her two sons, Jude and Ben. Over the weekend, both of the boys' bikes were physically stolen from them, and they weren’t able to retrieve them from the thieves.

Autumn saved up for six months to get Jude’s bike three years ago and then saved up for another six months to get Ben his bike for this past Christmas. We know times aren’t easy right now for anyone but she is one person and one income, trying to make a decent life for the three of them. It’s been one thing after another financially the past two years for her and it seems as though she just can’t catch a break. Ben is absolutely distraught over the whole situation and the last thing she wants is to see her kids so sad.

Autumn did not want to ask anything from anybody, but as a village in our community and as her friends, we thought it would be a great idea to set this up for her and try to make all three of them smile a little more again. No amount is too small and any contribution would be an absolute blessing! Thank you in advance for everyone helping out, all the way from sharing her posts to trying to help find the bikes, to the calls and texts that she has received.
