Here is another donation that we were blessed with on this past Friday evening. Mary (in the pink) is the daughter of Earl Ohlendorf who passed away this past April. Mary is pictured with Amy, her daughter and Earl's granddaughter.
The family had received donations in memory of Earl, who was an avid bicyclist who could be found riding all over LaSalle county rain or shine, and they chose Ottawa PADS as the recipients of seven brand new bicycles. These bicycles will be utilized by our clients as a means of getting to and from important appointments, as well as to and from work and school.
We know that Earl was looking out for us as this need for us is ongoing. We are grateful to have this opportunity for our clients to keep putting on the miles in memory of Earl. ~ Marissa Melau, Ottawa PADS Program Director
