Hello everyone, my name is Dale, a 37 year old father and son seeking some help and I promise to pay it forward in the future.. I have gone through some tough times recently over the last couple of years with an accident that occurred that almost took my life.. I thank god everyday it didn't and since then I have been working on getting my life back together.. I shot myself in my leg back in October of 2024 and it's been a long road of recovery but here I am! I was told I would probably never walk again, let alone be able to work and be independent. That being said, I did everything in my power to regain my strength in my leg and be able to use it again.. over the last couple of months I have gained the strength to walk again BUT I suffer from permanent drop foot which makes it a challenge to run, ride a regular bike, and do some other normal day to day activities that are easy for others..

I have been looking for a job and have finally landed a good place of employment but with my recent struggles I don't have a reliable form of transportation to get me started. I am looking to get an E-bike to get myself to and from work until I can get the money to get a reliable vehicle. I have priced them and I have found one that meets my needs and would be a perfect fit for right around $1,000..

The electric assist would allow me to get to work without putting undue stress on my leg, making it a sustainable tool for my recovery and my career. This goal will cover a dependable bike, a high-quality lock, and necessary safety gear. Any support you can offer—whether it’s a donation or just sharing this link—means the world to me as I work toward getting back on my feet and staying mobile.
