<p>There are now more ways to help. There is the Redbasket link that Yasmeen posted. I believe there is a separate crowdfunding link but do not have it at hand. Now, two of the recumbent bike manufacturers that have their bikes sold at Amlings have offered up a bike for raffle. There is a two wheel recumbent and a trike. I do not recall the names of the manufacturers. If you contact the shop you can buy a $5 raffle ticket for one of these bikes. The raffle will be open for a while and two…</p>
<p>There are now more ways to help. There is the Redbasket link that Yasmeen posted. I believe there is a separate crowdfunding link but do not have it at hand. Now, two of the recumbent bike manufacturers that have their bikes sold at Amlings have offered up a bike for raffle. There is a two wheel recumbent and a trike. I do not recall the names of the manufacturers. If you contact the shop you can buy a $5 raffle ticket for one of these bikes. The raffle will be open for a while and two winners will then ride off on a new bike while Joe will have some funds to pay for the staggering medical bills. So far he is a heartwarming success story. He was in an induced coma for a few weeks and at that time nobody knew what was going on inside his head. I visited him at the hospital yesterday and saw him walk about 20 feet with a nurse's assistance. He recognized me and introduced me to the nurse. He then told me that he was having balance issues and talked about the Toy Ride indicating that the big computer on the shoulders seems to be working pretty well. He delivered the safety speech this morning via a broadcast from the hospital and used humor and awareness. The brain is an amazing organ and Joe is an amazing guy.</p> Glad to hear that the ride we…tag:thechainlink.org,2015-12-11:2211490:Comment:9589762015-12-11T18:42:14.270ZAnne Althttps://thechainlink.org/profile/Anne91

<p>The Toys for Tots ride went really well today. Riders were pleased to have a visit from Joe via video. Thankfully, he is recovering, but he spent 20 days in ICU! He is now in a rehabilitation center and will be there for a while. He can really use our help, so I am bumping this.</p>

Toys for Tots short on donations for kids in need, issues appeal for help.
