KQBW (96.1 FM) listeners to "The Morning Brew" quickly expressed their generosity when a listener called in to share her misfortunate brought on by a thief Monday night."Her husband's truck was stolen from their driveway and in the back of the truck was a bike that was going to be a reward for their two-year-old son for getting potty trained," said "Brew" co-host Michelle Matthews.
The caller asked Michelle and her co-host, "Mookie", if they could air an apppeal for the thief to return the bike. But they did much more than that - putting out a call for help to their listeners.
"I'm so stunned and proud of our listeners today."
-Michelle Matthews, Morning Brew Crew Co-HostThe result was an outpouring of support, with donations pouring into the station throughout the day, Matthews said.
The feel-good story culminates Wednesday when two-year-old Wyatt will receive a new bike and helmet in an on-air presentation at 7:30 a.m.
Matthews said additional funds remain from the purchase of the bike and helmet. That money will be donated in Wyatt's name to a charity for other children who might need a bike.
"I'm so stunned and proud of our listeners today," she said. "They've truly made a memory for this two-year-old boy."
