CA Grandma Asks For Funds For A Bike

AUBURN, CA -- Have some extra cash? Consider donating it to Judith Larrew, a grandmother in Auburn who desperately needs a set of wheels. Larrew recently started a GoFundMe campaign, urging the public to help her raise funds for a new bike.

"Due to my fiances I had to give up my car BUT still need wheels," Larrew, who describes herself as an artist, wrote on GoFundMe. "Found a great electric three wheeled bike at Liberty Bikes."

Larrew said she lives in a community with a lot of hills, but can "no longer walk up hills, just down....but really need some wheels to go over to the close shopping center."

"It's just a hop, skip and a jump from me but I can no longer hop, skip or jump anymore...I need a bike," Larrew wrote. "With no insurance or gas to worry about."

Five people have contributed about $650 to Larrew's campaign as of Monday morning. The grandmother hopes to raise $1,700.
