I am the father of two autistic children.We live in west palm and shop at our local goodwill stores weekly. We find a lot of our needs and it also provides us with a family outing. I am reaching out because our 9 year old autistic son can’t balance a bike and I need to find him a three wheeler. While all the kids in the neighbor hood are riding there bikes he is left out or has to run along with them. We can pay for one but we just can’t afford a new one. I have tried everywhere with no luck in our price range. If you could help us in any way it would be appreciated.

With the price of gas it is not fesible to drive 3 places, when before I only had to go to one store to find everything. Think about it in Shillington you have people who ride the bus there. Before one store, now if they want bin cloths they have to find a ride out Perkiomen. The price of gas prohibits me from driving to 3 stores. I think you did the comunnity a disservice by doing this. PLEASE rethink your decision. You can have 3 stores that sell everything. Not 3 stores that sell just one thing.
