Long Shot But My family wishes for a bike, etc..

Hi. My name is Kimberly. You can read my bio for more info too (about me and my son). I am putting up my family's wish in the long shot that someone has the means to fulfill it. It is a lot to ask so it probably won't happen but I thought it was worth a shot. Our family does not have a car or any kind of reliable transportation. We get medical rides to doctors for our son if we need them and that is about it. My fiance got a job again about 2 months ago. He walks to work 5 days a week and back home again unless he is lucky to get a ride. Jobs are scarce here (as I know they are everywhere) so we feel blessed he got this one. He makes $8/hr and it barely covers diapers, wipes and bills (we get $188 in food support). We would like to get a bike for him to ride back and forth to work, mainly. We also would like to be able for me to use it to take my son to the grocery store and to get out and about some days too. So we would like to get a 3 wheeled bike with a basket on the back and a front child carrier we can put on the front. This is way outside our price range, we haven't even been able to save up for a car. We would be happy with a used one but never see one anywhere. I sometimes window shop online and I came across one on Amazon and I made a wishlist. So our wish is for someone to get us our Amazon wishlist. I know it is alot. I only would want someone who could afford to do it to get it for us. I promise I will pay it forward when we get straight. I will also be willing to share photos of our family using the bike on here. If you can't help it is ok. I hope that you don't think I am a greedy person or a bum. It really would help all of us, but it is expensive. I also would like to make some new friends online if anybody is interested. Read my bio and message me. Feel free to ask any questions too. Thank you again for looking at our wish and I hope you have a great day. Here is the url/link to our wish list:

Thank you all for your nice thoughts. :) Our family IS richly blessed and we know it. We might not have much money and we have had some hard times but we have each other and we have been so lucky to have our son and cherish every single day with him. I know that sounds sappy but we really do. Any time we feel we are having a bad day and want to be grouchy we just think of how blessed we are and it helps so much to weather through almost anything. God has been so good to us! I am so glad I posted my wish here because I can see this is a community of people who are decent and actually care about each other. I will be praying for each of you all to get your wishes and that your words of kindness will be given back to you tenfold. Thank you for making me feel welcome and for your encouragement.

Hope your bike hero finds your family :) With NF, the bike should ease some of the pain your husband suffers while walking. And make getting places with the baby much easier. GOod luck to your family, congrats to hubby for the job, and hoping all your dreams come true. May your family be richly blessed

I hope you find your bicycle heroes. I think you have a good head on your shoulders and a worthwhile wish. I see so many people on here wishing for a car and they have no idea what the expense of owning a car is with maintenance and insurance and gas etc. I am going to search for some amazon gift codes I know I have put away somewhere and try to get them back to you.

Actually that looks like a great bike for the price. It looks like it would come in handy. I sure hope you get your hero.

I also guess I should have stated why we don't just want a regular bike in more detail. Sorry I am new to this kind of thing. My fiance has NF and he has issues with his back/spine due to that and riding a regular bike causes him more pain and with working he tries to not do anything that causes more pain. Also we would be able to carry groceries in the basket on this bike better than with our stroller. Sorry I didn't clarify that.
