Little did he know that his friends would respond in a huge way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother friend said that, \u2018I\u2019ll buy two\u2019 and now that means I got to buy three,\u201d DeJesus recalled. \u201cAnd another person said \u2018I\u2019ll buy four\u2019 \u2013 and the next thing you know, it just kept going.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This season, he has gathered and bought over one hundred bikes. However, that created another issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe bought too many bikes and now we\u2019re trying to figure out how to raise some money to buy some helmets and locks,\u201d he said. \u201cBut fortunately, that\u2019s the easy ones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He is not raising the funds with a nonprofit group, but as an individual, and those who wish to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kacy.nastari\">donate<\/a> may go to his wife\u2019s social media page.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo honored and humbled to be a part of something that means so much to us.
