Donated Trike
My
name is Alan Schwartz and I submitted a letter to the Desert Sun
pleading for the return of my trike. I used the trike to pull a
pedi-cab to raise money for students with special needs at Landau
Elementary School in Cathedral City. Today I received a generous
donation from Chuck Knight of Rancho Mirage. A fellow teacher, Michelle
Patton told Chuck, her neighbor the story of my bike being stolen in
November. Mrs. Patton’s son, Luke helped build the bike for Chuck and I
am also grateful for his time and energy. I also received a mountain
bike from a former student named Jasmin to pull the pedi-cab. The
original trike was never returned but because of the generosity of
Chuck, Michelle, Luke and Jasmin I am better prepared to pull my
pedi-cab and raise money for iPads for students with special needs at
Landau Elementary. I feel fortunate to live in a community with such
generous, caring and thoughtful people.
Sincerely,
Alan Schwartz
