Request: Old/Damaged Smart Devices (Coquitlam Maillardville) Hello, I have gotten into the joy of fixing up my old iPhones, and some android tablets that my sisters used to use before they left it with my mother, so she can use them, but turned out that all of them had crap batteries I am thinking about fixing up some usable devices and donating them to the children/teens of the BC Children’s Hospital, who don’t have a smart phone / tablet, for whatever reasons, IF I CAN. ANYWAYS, hoping that a young pre-teen who doesn’t have a smartphone, have to be secluded from their friends back at school or something :P As I mentioned, I HAVE experience fixing up several of my own smart devices, so unless the device has a screen that is shattered to smithereens, and the hardware has been MELTED IN A VOLCANO, I am willing to take anything that you could throw at me :P Thanks everyone, and have a GREAT, WONDERFUL, FANTASTIC DAY, AND DIG DEEP WITHIN YOUR DESKTOP DRAWERS FOR OLD DEVICES THAT ARE JUST GATHERING DUST ;) John

Request: Bicycle: Whole or Just Parts (Coquitlam Maillardville) Hello everyone, I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos on how I could build my own bicycle, with spare parts Now, I, myself already have a bicycle, ALL THE WAY BACK FROM MY LAST YEAR OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (2001-2002ish?), but I haven’t ridden on it much since I tried cycling to and from middle school, BUT, MY MOTHER, whom I wish would get more exercise, DOESN’T HAVE a bicycle, and she is a REAL PENNY PINCHER, and would probably XXX DEFINITELY WON’T SPEND two to three hundred dollars on a bicycle, just the exercise, a little more conveniently I am not looking for someone to give me a BRAND NEW SPARKLING bicycle, but if you have an old bike, HOPEFULLY with little to no rust, or have a bicycle frame with MASHED UP wheels, or vice-a-versa, PLEASE GIVE ME A SHOUT OUT ~! THANKS EVERYONE ;)

Free: Foldable Rear Band Headset (Coquitlam Maillardville) Hello, I have been hoarding this headset that my older sister used to use back in like 200# something, when she started teaching online classes at the Vancouver school district Been keeping them since she stopped, and didn’t need them anymore, JUST IN CASE I MIGHT EVER NEED THEM (yes, a gIGANTIC HOARDER HERE) Recently cleared out my whole desk side drawer, though about trashing it, but then I remembered that I downloaded this app with the name TRASH NOTHING, so I was wondering if anyone might need this, almost twenty year old device?

Request: Scientific Calculator (Coquitlam Maillardville) Expired Hello everyone, I was thinking about upgrading a couple of the Chemistry class grades that I received for, well basically just showing up for class, sitting through the one hour class, and went back home with a blank sheet of paper, and the textbook that I NEVER OPENED (yeah, my dumbdumb high school brain, that only wanted ONE THING. GAMES GAMES GAMES! NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS TO TAKE A COLLEGE COURSE FOR IT X() I was wondering if anyone had a scientific calculator rolling around in their desktop drawer from their high school years, that they no longer need? Thanks everyone ;)

Request: Old bicycles (EVEN HUNK OF RUST) (Coquitlam Maillardville) Expired Hello, I am hoping to pick up an old bicycle that I could repair for a family member in need of one I am ‘okay’(?) with rusty bikes(?)

Request: Old bicycle (Coquitlam Maillardville) Expired Hello, I am planning on starting a not for profit bicycle recovery organization, that could donate bicycles to 1)(CHILDREN’S) hospitals so that children receiving medical treatments could still learn to ride a bike, 2) income assistance offices so that parents who can’t afford brand new bicycles for their children could obtain a ‘born again’ bike for their children, and etc BUT, BEFORE I COULD COMMIT FULLY TO STARTING THE NPO, I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO HAVE THE EXPERIENCE OF ACTUALLY REMOVING RUST FROM AN OLD RUSTY BIKE (or EVEN, HOW TO FIND A BIKE FROM A BIG BALL OF RUST!?), HOW TO STRAIGHTEN OUT MANGLED BICYCLE WHEELS, AND JUST REVIVING A BICYCLE IN GENERAL! I will take anything that could help my situation that you could help me with, just the body/frame of a bicycle, maybe an extra wheel that you’d purchased, which had since gotten pretzeled in the garage somehow, Thanks for your support everyone :D, John
