Losing my Honda Navi to theft was a huge blow, especially as a college student trying to make ends meet in Boston. I had just started a new lifeguard job, and my motorcycle was supposed to be my main way to get there. Without it, my commute has jumped to 45 minutes each way, making it much harder to balance work and school. This job is my chance to cover rent and stay afloat, but getting there without reliable transportation is a real challenge.

When I discovered my bike was stolen, I felt completely crushed and betrayed. I reported the theft to the Boston police, but so far, there’s been no sign of my motorcycle. While a few friends have kept an eye out for it around the city, I’m mostly handling this setback on my own. I’m reaching out for help to get a new motorcycle so I can keep my job, manage my responsibilities, and regain some independence. Any support would mean a lot as I work to get back on track.
