These sisters are four of seven siblings in their family. They range in age of 7-10 but wouldn’t look it. They are the smallest girls you could imagine and you could tell that they didn’t always get enough to eat and just had a tired look on their faces all of the time. Which is a really sad thing for such young girls. At first just two of the girls joined the program but when they learned they could earn a brand new bike all four joined. Each girl had their own very distinct personality, which made it fun to work with them all together. They were also very loving and supportive of each other. When we went to get on the bikes for the first time as a group, two of the sisters didn’t know how to ride. They had only been on a bike a few times on the weekends that one of the family friends brought over a bike for all of the kids to share. They were determined though. After the first class they asked if they could stay after and practice with me. I said of course and we spent another 30 minutes together and by the end, each of them could ride without stopping. By the end of the program, those two girls along with the other two sisters rode 8 miles downtown without stopping. It was incredible! Now, not only does this family have four new bikes that they can ride to school and the park together, but they are able to share those bikes with their other siblings and keep bike riding as a part of their childhood. It truly brought JOY to this family.
