As a native of Hawaii, Hokule'a Taniguchi wasn't quite ready for all that the Wisconsin winter had to offer...it was intense. Hokule'a, or Hoku for short, didn't own a car and she'd been biking to work in the snow...which was, by all accounts, a miserable experience. Hoku's new friend and co-worker, Haley Bridges, took note of Hoku's transportation situation and Haley would offer her rides whenever possible. But, of course, schedules don't always match up, so there were still many snowy bike rides in Hoku's life. At least that was true until December when a surprise Christmas raffle presented the opportunity for life-changing generosity. Today's quick hit of kindness is a sweet story of teenage besties and a great lesson on how true winners are made.
