PALMYRA, N.Y. (WROC) — Last week, News 8 told the story of a man from Palmyra taking relief efforts for those impacted by Hurricane Helene into his own hands.
He said he would drive a trailer filled with the community’s donations down to North Carolina. Todd and his fiancé Bridget are back from two trips, and told News 8 how it went.
Before Todd and Bridget were able to hit the road, they had to fill up that trailer they took down. Todd said he saw his initial call to the community come to life as people around this region stepped in to help.
“We had, I’d say, at least 50 people working, and we probably had 200 cars come in. When we first started, we were hoping we’d have two or three pallets to go down. And before we got done, we lined up with two trailer loads to go down,” Todd Schram said.
One hundred bales of hay, along with water, diapers, tents, and more filled two 53-foot trailers to the brim.
Todd and Bridget drove down to the hard-hit communities impacted by Hurricane Helene Sunday, and described what they saw on the drive in.
