Daniel Hilcke's Bike

--by snowflake66, posted Dec 19, 2007

This is a story I read that is so touching and warm that I just had to share it with all of you. Hope it makes your day as it has made mine. :)

Hello, my name is Daniel Hilcke.

One day I was riding home from church, and I saw a young child that was crying; his bicycle had just been run over by a car, and the car had sped away. I remembered the pay it forward idea, and decided to give him my bike, which i just got for my birthday, from my grandmother just before she passed away.

I told him about the pay it forward idea, and about a week later, he was in the news for saving a bag of kittens, that had been abandoned in the local river. He had given the kittens a place to stay, and looked after them.

I hope other people find inspiration from this story, as it has changed my life, and the life of the young boy.

Yours Sincerely,

Daniel Hilcke
