B

Dom Pecora has always had a passion (强烈情感) for bikes. When he was around 10 years old, he often broke them. After talking with friends and doing some research, he asked his mom if he could get a more expensive one that wouldn’t break easily. His mom said no to the expensive bike, so to make money, he started doing bike repairs. His side job went well, and within the same year, he was able to buy his dream bike.
By the time the holidays came around, he had made so much money that he decided to gift bikes to kids who could not afford one. “We bought six bikes the first year. Then I continued to do it and then started a nonprofit organization (非营利性组织), Dom Fixes Bikes,” Pecora said. In 2024, he gave away more than 120 bikes. Dom says he’s just getting started. “Since the beginning, I always wanted everyone to be able to ride a bike, no matter what their financial (财务) abilities are,” he says.
Pecora also shared a touching story from last year. It’s about a seven-year-old child whose mother was dying of a serious illness and the father couldn’t afford a bike. “They wanted to gift their kid with a bike as a birthday present and we needed to make sure it was his dream bike. We went all out to get the right color and size. We gave it to the kid around November because the mother wasn’t sure if she could make it to Christmas,” Pecora said.
“It really feels good to be able to provide bikes for kids who can’t afford them,” the now 15-year-old said. “One small action to brighten someone’s day can snowball into helping a whole community.”
