Couple Mr & Mrs Z* welcomed their firstborn and their joy was tempered with sadness when they fell on hard times. Mr Z works as a cleaner for a warehouse on daily pay whereas Mrs Z just recently found part time work in a bread factory. As the both of them work shifts, they take turns caring for their one year old son.
When its his turn, and with his employer's approval, Mr Z goes to work with his son in a baby sling. I am struck by how much this reminds me of the movie starring Will Smith (see poster on the left) which I have used as the title of this blog. Meeting this couple, I am encouraged by their resolve to improve their situation for their son. TheBikeShack is cheering for you, Z* family - all the best!
With these two bikes, the proud parents can cycle to work and thus save up some money to improve their situation.
We recognize the social worker from Lakeside Family Centre for assisting this couple.
