Ride To Work assigns a volunteer coach to each rider. Men coach men and women coach women. Our coaches are wonderful, giving people. Coaches frequently make all the difference in a rider’s success by helping them learn to budget and save, by helping them work their way through problems that seemed insurmountable, and just overall guidance and helping them make better decisions in their lives. Ralph and Ron, two of our dedicated coaches, typify this dedication, helping one rider get his driver’s license back, helping another find a moped, and helping another establish a budget so he could save for a car. Here are two rider’s stories.
“My name is Ryan from Seneca, South Carolina. I
am so appreciative of the ride to work program that has helped me by taking me to and from my job. I was able to save up enough money to buy a car. Without their help, I wouldn’t have been able to maintain my job. I give thanks to their wonderful service and giving me the chance to participate. My coach (Ralph) helped me come up with a great monthly budget plan that I will use here on out. Thank you again Ride to Work for helping to make me whole again.“
Don tells us: I was blessed when I was introduced to Ron (my coach) and Reggie (driver) from the Ride To Work Team that gave me much needed reliable rides back and forth to work when I needed them. I just wanted to thank everyone for all they have provided me with.
