Teens Out on a Bike Ride Manage to Rescue an Elderly Neighbor

Gunner Skidmore and Kohen Chick were enjoying a simple summer morning bike ride near Fruitland, Iowa, when something caught their attention. As they were cruising down a rural road, they spotted what appeared to be someone lying in a yard. Unsure of what they were seeing, they turned around to check it out.

Gunner and Kohen were at the right place at the right time — because it was an elderly woman who couldn’t move and was without her phone. She had fallen the night before while feeding her horse and had been stranded outside in the yard for 16 hours.

The boys called 911 and first responders transferred the woman to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.

But the kindness didn’t stop there.

While she recovers, Gunner’s mom has stayed in touch with the woman’s family and has been helping care for the woman’s horse by making sure it has food and water. The family also plans to welcome the woman home with a homemade lasagna when she is discharged from the hospital.
