Kollin Cox and Ryan Branson, are 7 year old best friends. When Ryan lost everything in a fire, Kollin wanted to help his friend, so he and his mom made a Facebook video explaining everything.

 

 

Because of that video, St. Louis television stations and NBC Nightly News, ran the story, and that GOFUNDME page raised over $11,000 to replace toys, beds and clothes for Ryan's family. They lost everything in the February blaze that displaced more than 30 families in their apartment complex.

Kollins Mom, Jessica,  posted the video on her Facebook page back in February, right after the fire happened. Because of the positive response,  Ryan and Kollin figured they could help the other families too.

Jessica wrote: The boys have decided they want to keep spreading the joy and raise money and donations for the other 30 families that were displaced in the fire. Keep sharing the story and help Kollin and Ryan make a difference! We will post the information about how to help the other families soon! Thanks again everyone!!! 

 

This Social Media thing is really cool when it helps people out.  Best Friends who help each other out are pretty cool too!.
