Join Us in Gifting Barb an E-Bike Surprise

Hello, I am Barb Landreth's neighbor, Jaci. I moved to Boise on a whim 18 months ago not knowing a single person. I feel so lucky to have moved in across the street from Barb into an amazing community. As I'm sure you have all experienced with her, Barb enfolded me into the neighborhood and has become one of my dearest friends. I am truly grateful!

Because she is truly amazing and she is turning 80 years old on June 30, 2024, I have started this site to crowdfund something she has been wanting for a while--an electric bike (e-bike) to enjoy our Greenbelt multi-use path, ride our beautiful neighborhood, and take with her camping. Her sons, Eric & John, have selected what we hope will be a perfect fit and also hope to purchase a rack or carrying system for her truck/teardrop camper. We are planning to purchase a Ride1Up Portola compact folding e-bike (https://ride1up.com/product/portola/) at a price of $995. Feel free to check it out online, but don't forget THIS IS A SURPRISE!!!!

We invite you to contribute whatever is comfortable for you toward this group gift. Every person who contributes will be added to a big card (no amounts shown), so Barb understands how loved she is. We plan to purchase/order, assemble, and present our collective gift with a big bow on her birthday! How fun will that be (pics and video will be shared)!!

If we do not meet our goal, I will refund everyone's donation, so there is no risk to you. 100% of your contribution goes toward purchasing the bike, shipping costs (if any), and any accessories she may need such as a rack. We hope you will help us surprise our beloved Barb for her big birthday!

And don't forget......it's a surprise!!
