After the last couple of months I have been collecting second hand skateboards(many donated by local Kirkland Skaters and residents ) to fix up and give away to kids in positions less fortunate than myself. I had 9 boards in total to give away. After I spoke to a guy named "Zach"(who was mad passionate about his work and super helpful) that works for a local Non-profit organization called the "Kirkland boys and girls club". We set up a time and place to give these boards away and at the same time give these kids a little lesson.
We skated and hung out for about an hour in an undercover basketball area at a school. There were a total of 11 kids there some just watching. I really think that a few of them really got something out of it. As I got a lot out of it. I feel if I give the gift of skateboarding to one kid my job is done. Not that I will stop here I hope to take it further each time I do this.
Here is a couple of photo's of the time we had together....
If you ever feel like donating to this cause hit me up...
