Shank's Pony

Earlier this week, some bold bandit stole a bike from one of the guards at MRCH. His bike had been leaning against the door of his home during a downpour. When our guard next came out, he found his bike had walked. Petty theft? Maybe, but the consequences for the guard are serious. He lives around ten kilometres (by road) away from MRCH so the daily bus fare required is $4. Unable to afford this the guard walks. This morning, he left home at 4am to arrive at work on time at 6.30am. He looked pooped. I asked how long it would take him to be able to purchase another bike. He was pessimistic, saying he didn't have any money. For now he walks.

  1. Can we make a donation towards a new bike - what would one cost and how could we get the $ directly to you. Love Brad Jac and Isaac.
