back in March, a 6 yr old was watching the news about the flooding in Nebraska... and he decided to raise money to buy a bridge to help the victims. He ended up collecting $285.28 – more than enough to buy a bridge, which he estimated would cost about $60

His mom sent the money to the Nebraska Farm Bureau Disaster Relief Fund. Though obviously his collection was not enough to buy a bridge, word of this struck a chord with a Virginia farmer and scrap yard owner who happened to have a 43-foot, 22-ton steel bridge the Virginia Department of Transportation had disposed of. He called the disaster relief fund, which contacted the Coleridge Nebraska county commissioner who gladly accepted.

So the owner of Wise Services and Recycling got in touch with Read Transportation and Logistics of Culpepper Virginia, and they split the cost of sending the bridge 1,200 miles to Nebraska.

The bridge arrived 30 hours later on May 28 in Nebraska.
