"I am so grateful"- Deserving Vet Receives New Bicycle

 

Westfield, NJ - Courier News Wish Book donates a new bicycle for a needy veteran.  “John”, a Persian Gulf War veteran, being treated through Youth & Family Counseling Service’s Bravest First Program was the lucky recipient of a new bicycle from the Courier News.

 

 

 

“We are so pleased to present “John” with this gift and we are extremely grateful to the Courier News for their donation” states Carol Pedro, Executive Director of Youth & Family Counseling Service.  “John’s” bicycle, second hand and repaired, was his only transportation and it was stolen last fall.  Making appointments and getting to his job were a challenge.  This gift makes a huge difference in John’s life.
