Replace Ellis' stolen bike.
Donation protected
As you may already know, my sons bike was stolen mere days after receiving it.
The bike was a lifeline to him. It gave him back a spark and a happiness that had been missing for a long time.
To many it's just a bike, but it is really so much more than that.
I've thought long and hard about setting this up as I've always looked on these sort of gfms as, well, cheeky.
But I can honestly say I wouldn't be doing this now if I didn't feel it was for a good cause.
My son battles immensely with his mental health. I won't go into details as that is not my story to tell.
The change in him for those few days he had his beloved bike was just immense. He had something to focus on, to feel proud of. Only for some scumbag to rip that away from him. He was even extra careful and used two cable locks on two different parts of the bike. The thieves broke both. This has completely shattered his soul again. To experience the worst of society.
So I'm going to ask if we can show him there is far more good in the world than he may think right now.
Even just a £1 is a pound closer to replacing the thing that gave him hope.
Thank you xxxx
ETA: I put the fund at £180 as GFM take a percentage of the final amount xx
