26、 The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work to support our family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货), saving us from having to walk along long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job.
