Might want to designate it to the Middletown United Way. Otherwise, it will probably go to Cincinnati or Dayton, or so I've heard.

Does anyone know what percentage of donations to United Way actually go towards charitable works as opposed to the percentage that goes towards the high salaries of the United Way executives?

The following excerpt from a 12/27/2010 newspaper article makes it sound as if all of the kids' bikes will be replaced by donors who responded directly to the Brewer family:
"Hours after staff writer Jessica Heffner's story appeared online about a Middletown family that needed a stolen custom tricycle made for a special-needs teenager replaced, residents jumped in to help.

Thieves broke into a garage on Bryant Street and stole the bike that belonged to Cody Brewer, 16, who has cerebral palsy and is unable to walk long distances or use his right arm.

Dozens of residents called and e-mailed offers of help to the Brewer family to replace the bike. Karla Brewer said her phone "blew up" with calls from people as far away as Boston.

The boy's bike, plus the bikes that belonged to Cody's brothers, 13-year-old Austin and 11-year-old Tyler, are all scheduled to be replaced."  (c) 2010 Cox Newspapers, Inc.

What's the deal?

Guest. it was our intent to replace all the bikes that were stolen, One was a chopper bike and the other was a mini bike according to the boys mother. Two of the bikes were found and returned by police, the chopper bike and Cody customized bike. Cody's bike was damaged and still needed replaced, so we bought one. I am not sure what will happen with the other bikes. But it was told to me from the mother that those boys have other bikes.

I am not sure what you mean by "whats the Deal"  I will tell you that MiddleownUSA.com raised money to get Cody a new bike and that is what we have done....as promised.

Randy,
We were not doubting your efforts, but doesn't the "newspaper" story make it sound as if the bikes were all replaced in response to the newspaper story by people responding directly to the Brewers?

It does indeed, I had recieved many calls from people that had contacted the Journal and the Journal gave them my number as a place to donate money. It is my understanding (from the mother) that the other two kids had other bikes that were not stolen. I know that I personally ordered the custome bike for Cody and will pick it up next week.

Sounds like "that so-called newspaper" failed to accurately report the entire story.
 
Kudos to you and the MUSA readers!

Hey Mike, I wanted to thank you for your help. I ordered the bike two weeks ago and got a call this past Monday from the bike shop informing me that it was ready to. I then called cody's mother and let her know that she could go down and pick it up.
 
I believe she went yesterday in fact, so yes he did get his bike. I am glad you enjoy the site. :)
