A nonprofit shop in an iconic Omaha storefront is helping foster kids who have aged out of the system by offering support to help them earn income, learn life skills and set futures in motion."I've always wanted to be independent," Bike Union employee David Moody said. "I've had a lot of family issues. My parents haven't always been around."By the time Moody was 5 or 6 years old, he grew up in foster care."I was a ward of the state when I aged out and turned 19," Moody said. He's precisely the employee Bike Union executive director Miah Sommer wants."The Bike Union is a social enterprise," Sommer said. "I think leveling the playing field for opportunity is important to everyone in our community."When they're not fixing rides or making drinks at the union's new coffee shop, mentors help Moody with skills he may have missed growing up in the foster care system."How to set my own goals for my future and another thing was budgeting, we worked on budgeting," Moody said. "I didn't know how to budget and now I have almost a perfect budget set up."Customers can get their coffee, bike or bike repairs at the Bike Union, which is at 19th and Dodge streets in Omaha.More information can be found here: www.thebikeunion.org.
