Stichting Leergeld Asten Someren seeks children's bicycles
Stichting Leergeld Asten Someren assists children from low-income families in Asten and Someren. In the Netherlands, 1 in 12 children grows up in poverty. These children often cannot participate in regular activities, such as sports or birthday celebrations.
The foundation provides assistance with school supplies, sports equipment, a laptop, a bicycle, or a birthday package from Jarige Job. Last year, Stichting Leergeld approved nearly 750 applications from Asten and Someren. Their mission is: “All children participate! Because participating now means counting later.” More information is available at: www.leergeld-asten-someren.nl
Over the past few years, the foundation has been able to bring joy to many children with a bicycle. Their stock is now almost depleted. Therefore, they are particularly in need of children's bicycles (not mountain bikes) in sizes 22, 24, or 26 inches.
