This is Nhi, one of the many smart, talented, beautiful girls who you have helped support through our Bikes for Girls program. We met Nhi at one of our bike giving ceremonies at her school. She is 13 years old and from a very poor family. Nhi was so excited to be receiving her new bike because her family had only one very old bike that was being shared by them all. That one bike was the only form of transportation that her family had. She was so grateful to be receiving a new bike of her own.
Nhi has had a hard life like so many of the girls we support. Her father died when she was a year old from cancer, and her mother died not long after of a brain tumor. Since then she and her brother have been raised by their grandparents. Their grandparents are quite old, but continue to work in order to try and keep the two children in school. When Nhi comes home from school she tries to help them by doing chores and things around the house. In spite of her hard life, Nhi works very hard in school to try and get good grades.
When we gave Nhi the bike, she said, “I have dreamed to have a new bike, but I knew it wasn’t possible until I got this beautiful pink bike. I am so thankful.”
In 2015 we were able to give over 300 girls, like Nhi, new bikes. We are so grateful to all of you, our donors and supporters.
Thank you,
Sara Nerone
