    Story

    Hi Everybody,

    We're trying to raise money for a replacement bike for Tobias.

    This is Tobias.

    Tobias has Autism. Despite this, Tobias works hard to overcome incredible difficulties and is very proud to currently be working in a local supermarket cafe where he sells coffee to customers. Coffee is one of Tobias' loves. This has been a huge milestone for Tobias as this is his first ever job - and he's getting a lot of recognition for being good at it!

    Tobias is very keen on being as independent as possible and cycles to and from work. He is very keen on keeping his bike secure and even took some persuading to not keep it in his bedroom.

    Unfortunately, after Tobias finished working his usual Sunday shift, he left to find his bike stolen and his lock left smashed on the ground.

    Tobias has found this difficult.

    We are starting this Crowdfunder to get Tobias his bike back. Having his bike makes Tobias' journey to work much easier and gives him one less obstacle in his working day. If we reach our total, we will be able to get a direct replacement of the stolen bike and get Tobias back the independence he deserves.

    Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Please, If you could contribute in any way, Tobias would be extremely grateful.

    Love,

    Tobias and his family

      Today we bought the new bike! We did it everybody! With all the donations we managed to get an exact replacement Voodoo , the best lock system the store had available and a years servicing. Tobias is over the moon. You all did an incredible thing this week and for the last time we just wanted to say how special you've all made Tobias feel. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

      We have hit the £400 goal! Thank you all so so so much. You have definitely restored Tobias's faith in humanity - he can't get over how quickly we raised that amount! We are leaving the page online for a little while with all extra money we raise going towards getting the best lock we can buy. Again, on behalf of all of us THANK YOU! You've made one young man very happy!
