A new bike for Richard who misses riding with his friends

Posted Apr 7, 2025
Richard loved playing with the kids in his neighborhood and riding their bikes, but since his recent move, he no longer has that opportunity. He doesn’t participate in many after-school activities mainly because transportation is very difficult for him. He has requested a bike of his own so he can get some exercise and potentially make new friends. He lives close to his school, which means he would be able to ride there and back for extracurricular activities. Unfortunately, due to his current circumstances, Richard feels confined to his home because of the lack of transportation. He has been struggling with his mental health and often spends most of his time in a room with an older cousin with whom he is not very close. Granting him this wish for a bike will provide him with the freedom to exercise and enjoy the outdoors. It will also serve as a mode of transportation to the gym, bus stop, or to meet up with friends his age.

Richard is 15 years old and lives in NC

Richard is currently facing a difficult time at school following a recent change in his foster placement. He is performing at or below average in most subjects. Richard has a passion for designing clothes and aspires to become a fashion designer, but he hasn’t felt very motivated lately. He is an extremely talented artist and enjoys drawing. Additionally, he loves spending time outdoors, especially during the summer. In his former neighborhood, he used to ride bikes with friends and try out new tricks. However, Richard now spends most of his time indoors, watching YouTube videos or movies. He also enjoys listening to rap music.
