TX DFPS - Bexar County

Amerieon is currently in extended care after spending nearly a decade in foster care. Despite experiencing the loss of many close friends and family members, he has maintained a positive outlook. He draws motivation from these losses to become the best version of himself. Amerieon is actively involved in groups that advocate for changes in the foster care system. He is currently studying cybersecurity in college, with hopes of eventually pursuing a degree in aerospace engineering. When Amerieon isn’t in school or advocating for change, he enjoys music and sports. He mentions that playing basketball helps him stay calm and focused. He also enjoys mentally stimulating games and can solve a Rubik's Cube in just a few minutes!

Amerieon needs a bike to continue attending school during the summer. The school bus system does not operate in the summer, so if Amerieon wants to keep up with his education and complete a summer session, he will need help with transportation. He is also hoping to earn some extra money over the summer by working as a DoorDash delivery driver. While he has already completed the orientation, he is currently unable to make many deliveries. He lives in an area where having a bike would significantly expand his delivery opportunities. This electric bike will be perfect for Amerieon and will help him prepare for all of his summer travels!
