Bikers step in to help pregnant homeless US Veteran that served in the National Guard and Iraq.

In Bakersfield, Calif., a group of bikers have rallied for a good cause.
The biker buddies, many of whom are veterans themselves, heard about a homeless pregnant veteran who came to the California Veterans Assistance Foundation. The do-gooders then took action to galvanize efforts and offer her support, 23 ABC reports.
"We don't know if it's a boy or girl, we just know it's a baby who needs our help," Ben Patten of the Bakersfield Harley-Davidson, which gathered donations, told the news outlet.
After offering her shelter, the organization appealed to the community. That’s when the Armed Forces Support Riders, a group of local riders that provides motorcycle escorts to military members, and the local Harley-Davidson dealership stepped in.
