7-Year-old Makes Viral Video to Aid Buddy Who Lost Toys in a Fire
A 7-year-old boy has proven the destructive power of a fire is no match for a pair of elementary school best friends. (WATCH)

This pair of 7-year-olds, Kollin Cox and Ryan Branson, are best friends. When one of them lost everything in a fire, the other one asked his mother to help him make a video and post it on Facebook.

Since then, the St. Louis television stations have run news stories about the friendship that helped raise $11,000 to replace toys, beds and clothes for the young boy and his mother Sonya, proving that the destructive blaze was no match for this pair of elementary school BFFs.
