The story comes from a little town in Iowa, home to Roosevelt High School’s football team.

The team came to the rescue last week for a paralyzed man and his family after a wind storm made a mess of the neighborhood with 100mph winds.

Ray has been paralyzed for decades and is cared for by his two sisters in Des Moines, Iowa. Four huge trees came crashing onto his property and destroyed a privacy fence, causing the ladies called some old friends to see if they could borrow a chainsaw. 

Their responses, “you’re going to need more than a chainsaw.”

30 team members of the Rough Riders football squad showed up to assist in cleaning up Ray’s property.

The teens worked with chain saws and muscle, and less than three hours later, the yard was cleared of tree limbs—man more than 24 inches in diameter. The fence was also repaired and back in place.
