A bicycle was stolen from a street cleaner from Kaliningrad, which he rode to work. Olga Bykova, who lived in that district, turned to the townspeople, and in less than a day they managed to raise money to buy him a new one. More news is in the material of “Pravmir.ru”.
51-year-old Vladimir works as a street cleaner in one of the Kaliningrad districts. From the very early morning you can always find him working, putting things in order and cleaning the territory.
“At six in the morning in the summer, I saw him sweeping the streets and smiling. He is friendly and polite. Every time he waved from afar, greeting me, when I was jogging. Vladimir gives an example that no matter what you do, you can experience the joy and lightness of being!” Olga Bykova told Komsomolskaya Pravda.
Vladimir has the first category in cycling. He used to travel several tens of kilometers a day by bicycle. When the bike was stolen, he lost not only his hobby, but also his transport, because he had to walk to work.
When Olga found out about this, she published an ad on social networks about the collection of money for a new bike. Many Kaliningrad residents responded to the ad. In less than a day, they managed to collect more than 20 thousand rubles. They bought not only a new bicycle, but also a helmet and other accessories.
Vladimir did not expect such gift at all. In gratitude to Olga, he presented her with a vase and his drawing.
“You need to believe in good and kindness. The more there are such people, the stronger we are!” Vladimir said.
