Flood relief -- Little 'carhop' delivers

Thursday, March 21, 2019

Ten-year-old Mikayla Anderson of Omaha has discovered a new "favorite thing to do," helping people by giving away sub sandwiches and drinks to responders in Nebraska's flooding. Her dad, Brandon, is among state crews and Nebraska National Guard personnel who are manning, in 12-hour shifts, the barricaded roads damaged and destroyed by flood water. Mikayla wanted to do something to help these people and do something for the flood effort, and she and her mom, Hollie, will have delivered 50 Subway sandwiches and drinks over the past couple days at road stops toward Fremont and Bellevue. Hollie said the flood waters are about five miles from their home in Omaha. She is collecting relief items at her shop in McCook, at 222 W. First, through Saturday. She will match every case of bottled water donated at the McCook shop with something else that is needed, up to 100 items, and deliver them to responders and residents in Fremont, Bellevue and other area towns.
