A New Truck For The Garden Lady

"Miss Becky" Coger, left, and one of the neigbors with her "new" Dodge Ram.

She's known all around North Side Pittsburgh. She hauls around mulch and seedlings for community gardens and tends to the fruit trees in 12 local neighborhoods. She drives what she can afford to drive on a limited income, a 1984 GMC pick-up. One day she parked her old truck in front of her rowhouse and a reckless driver slammed into it, totaling it.

Since the car was so old, neighbors and friends of Becky Coger knew she wouldn't be receiving any funds to replace her vehicle from the insurance company. And they so needed her continued involvement, brightening up the community and helping others in need.



So, with the help of the NORTHSIDE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE, they embarked on a fund drive to help Miss Becky get a new ride. They had a goal of $5000 to replace her old truck, but when the donations were counted, they had a total of $10,000. Her son Fred found just the right vehicle, a 2003 Dodge Ram for about $9900. Yesterday, the new truck was presented to her at a news conference.

Now, Miss Becky can be on her way, providing what's needed to her neighbors and friends. She knows the area like the back of her hand; she knows where help is needed most. And she was able to make that most important Cub Scout meeting last evening, where the boys are getting very excited and planning for their entry into the Pinewood Derby this spring. Just be aware, Miss Becky is on the road again and ready to serve her beloved community.
