🚨WOW!!!

Two 13-year-old boys on a summer bike ride spotted something in a yard and turned around...

...what they was found an elderly woman who had been trapped on the ground for 16 HOURS, and they SAVED HER LIFE!!!

No phone. No water. All night in the dark.

They called 911 and saved her life, medics said that had only a few more hours gone by, she'd have been gone.

This is Fruitland, Iowa.

Gunner Skidmore and Kohen Chick, both 13, best friends.

They were pedaling toward Muscatine when Kohen said, "You see that lady back there?"

Gunner didn't, but they turned around anyway.

It took them a while to even find her, but then eventually came upon an elderly neighbor, lying in the grass.

She'd fallen feeding her horse at 5 p.m... THE DAY BEFORE.

All night on the ground.
No phone.
No water.
Covered in bugs.

She had dragged and rolled herself from the backyard to the front yard, praying somebody passing by would see her.

Somebody did. Two somebodies. On bikes.

"Hey ma'am, are you OK?"
"I need help. Call 911."

They did and the ambulance came, and she's getting the care she needs.

...but they didn't just save her life, they also made a new best friend!

Gunner's mama has been going over to feed and water that woman's horse every single day while she recovers and she brought her lasagna when she got back home.

The next generation isn't lost, folks.

Some of them are out here being the answer to an old woman's prayers on a Tuesday morning.

GOD BLESS Gunner and Kohen and God bless the parents raising kids like this.

THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
