Story of the Week!

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
