A Mountain Bike and Lock for Nelson who is focusing on his health journey

Posted Apr 7, 2022
Nelson has made a conscious decision to focus on his health this year, and has tried out various exercise programs, with mountain biking coming out the winner. What an amazing feeling for Nelson to hit the trails, feel the wind in his face, and have that sense of freedom. In his efforts to learn more about mountain biking, Nelson found a community mountain biking program through his local police department, and he is so excited to join the team. This newfound passion is why Nelson, through this CASA worker, has come to One Simple Wish requesting a mountain bike and lock. This bike will not only allow Nelson to focus on his health, but it will be an amazing outlet for him to make connections in his community.

Nelson is 16 years old and lives in NJ

Nelson is an amazing young man who is currently living in foster care without his three younger sisters. He is friendly and polite, and enjoys math and playing basketball. Nelson has a history of obesity and is trying to focus on improving his health.

"Thank you very much for the mountain bike. I am going to use it for exercising and I am going to join the community mountain biking program with the local policemen. I will also ride the bike back and forth to basketball. No one has ever given me such a nice gift. I really appreciate it and I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day. Thanks again, Nelson "
