At 14, he was homeless, sleeping in a dumpster behind a bike shop. One morning, Big Mike, a 6’4 biker with military tattoos, found him shivering and said, “You hungry, kid? Come inside.”
Mike gave him food, a job, and a cot in the back room. The biker family taught him to read, helped with school, and even paid for his college prep. They became the parents he never had.
Years later, that boy became a lawyer. Though ashamed at first of his rough beginnings, he realized the truth: family is love, not appearance. When the city tried to shut Mike’s shop, he stood proudly beside the man who had saved his life.
