Dear Sunshine Coast Cycling Group,
My name is Steve Oka and I am the Program Coordinator for the Youth in Transition Program at Sunshine Coast Community Services. I am writing to thank your organization for your donation to our program. These funds were used in conjunction with Off the Edge bike shop in Sechelt to purchase two mountain bikes, helmets, locks and bike kits. Gary, the owner also gave both of our recipients a maintenance workshop.
Our program works primarily with youth between the ages of 14-19 who are living independently, in foster care and/or presenting at-risk behaviours. We strive to deliver client-oriented services that empower and build the lifeskills necessary for successful independence and healthy lifestyles.
I would like to share how your donation will impact one of the recipient’s life. Names and some details have been changed to protect client confidentiality.
Denise is a 17 year old girl who lives in a room and board situation. She lost her father at an early age and has had no contact with her mother for the past 5 years due to her inability to parent. Denise struggles in her housing situation as she is not close to a bus stop and thus is reliant on hitch hiking and asking for rides to get to the bus stop. Denise loves to ride bikes but under her current budget cannot afford one. Her transportation issues have also affected her ability to look for work. With a new bike, Denise can now access her community much easier, look for work, not engage in unsafe actions such as hitch hiking and have an exercise outlet which allows her to feel independent.
Once again, I would like to extend my thanks for your organization’s generosity and assistance in helping out youth in our community.
Sincerely,
Steve Oka
