Thanks Trikitty
Just spoke with Kittycat - Maurice is going to be so happy - and for the information of all those that have contibuted - or are thinking about it - this man slept at a Salvation Army hostel for several nights because he had NO CASH - he told Kitty cat it was horrible - but he had no choice.
Not only can we get his bike replaced - we can also put some cash back in his hands - he had his cash and credit cards stolen.
Kittycat said that he was actually working how how he was going to get home - he was not even thinking about getting another bike - he simply needed to arrange to get home - he is extremely humbled by the fact we are even making an effort - he has no idea of the magnitude of our effort - we told him we are trying to simply raise a few bucks - he is going to be BLOWN away.
Now.....who has any contacts at any of our trade publications - velonews, Triathlete etc etc etc etc?????
Maybe they could pitch in - or if nothing else - give some exposure to the good folks here at slowtwitch for their generosity!!!
