When winter storms strike in Tusla, Oklahoma, many businesses encourage employees to stay off the roads and work from home. However, if you’re a first responder or a healthcare worker, you don’t have that option.

Since snowfall is somewhat uncommon in Tusla, many weren’t prepared with proper tires, leaving many stranded on the side of the road. That’s where Jeepers Anonymous, a large and local Jeep group, drove in to help February 18 through 20.

Bobby Edlund, a group member, said he was happy to help whoever needed it—not just essential workers. Before he started his day of rescuing, he prepared himself and his Jeep for the task.

“Went to Ace Hardware, started buying sandbags to put in the back of the Jeep to add some extra weight,” he told News on 6. “So, I did all of my prep last night and I was up bright and early this morning ready to go.”

The Jeep owners helped everyone they could

Edlund and other members acknowledged most of the people they helped were essential workers—but they helped anyone that could fit in the Jeep.

“We don’t target just one group we’re here to assist anywhere we can in the community,” he said. Jon Schwebach, the club’s president, gave his phone number to the outlet to post for anyone who needed a ride.

The two were just happy to be an asset to their community.

“Knowing that I was able to help somebody that didn’t feel safe or comfortable driving in this weather and to be able to get them to work to provide the services they needed to others,” said Edlund.

Neighbors were more than grateful

Cornette Sinclair, a local healthcare worker, was ecstatic to get a ride from the Jeep group. Otherwise, she may have missed her shift at the local hospital.

“This is such a blessing,” she said. She was one of six people Edlund helped in a single day.

Edlund, Schwebach, and others reportedly worked through the night to get people home safely.
