|Credit Union ONE vendor Mike Lammers with the Airea Company, anoffice furniture supplier in Farmington Hills, Mich., donated thenew bicycle because he happened to be in the branch when Loydreported the crime and saw that the young woman was upset aboutlosing her bike, said Credit Union ONE.
|A few days after the incident, Lammers delivered a new bike tothe branch and credit union officials called Loyd to share theunexpected good news.
|“I am so appreciative and feel so blessed that someone thoughtof me and gave me a new bicycle,” Loyd told Credit Union ONEofficials who coordinated the charitable gesture.
