"We came up with bows and the support from the community is just overwhelming. We had no idea we were going to have so many people calling ordering bows," Collins said.
The money for the bows is going to help the Bedwell family and others in the community are pitching in too.
"We're doing the shirts, the cups the coffee mugs," said Jamie Ingram.
