I admire the work of Marty Bodell and his relatives who live in Salt Lake County Utah to repair bikes that are in need of repair so they can be donated to refugees and families who are in need of having a bicycle to get from home to work or school. Mike and his family plus neighbors come to work on bicycles that are donated from strangers to their home so that the work of repairing the damaged bicycles can be worked on a few times a month . Thanks to a united team effort of the neighbors and the Bodell family, the best reward is when the bicycles are given to persons in the area that need them since they cannot afford to purchase a bicycle is the reaction from the person who receives a bicycle from the Bodell family or a volunteer. The Bodell family receives financial assistance from Mountain America Credit Union so that the Bodells can purchase equipment needed to repair the bicycles.
