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. "Where we went into, there wasn't a lot of devastation," Schram said. "They had a lot of rain. You could see where there were trees down, the rivers had come up. But there wasn't any bad devastation, like there was out west. They had no electric there for five days. Everything else was about 30 to 40 miles west of where it started. They don't want us going in there with the big trucks, because of the infrastructure and the shape that it's in. So, they're using the outlying towns to bring in the big trucks, and then they're taking pickup trucks out and delivering up into the mountains. The goods were taken to the Hickory Airport in North Carolina. Officials are using ATVs and mules to get them to those in need, But, an overwhelming amount of donations meant a second trip down. Todd headed back to North Carolina solo Tuesday morning and said he was not the only one down there providing aid.

"I [had] seen a lot of electric companies going south on Sunday night, and then on Thursday, when I was coming back up out there, there was a lot of electric companies coming back up out of there. New York State Electric and Gas was coming up out of there. I [saw] a few other trucks coming up out of there." "I don't think it can be done quickly and fast, and it's always going to seem like somebody's not getting helped in time, but I think everybody's doing the best they can to get it done as timely as they can," Bridget Bergstresser, Todd's fiancé, said. Todd and Bridget said they will be taking a pause for now. Todd said he misses his cows, and it's time to get back to work. The two are thankful for the help the community provided to make their idea a reality. "It's very overwhelming to see all the people come out and be willing to help and contribute and donate, and just the amount of people who helped us pack the stuff up and label it and get it ready to go on pallets, was amazing to see," Bergstresser said.
