A Kentucky family that lost its mobile home while it was being removed from a U.S. highway has received numerous donations, most of them anonymous.
Among the more than $37,000 given to Frances Barton and her family was $20,000 from a California man.
He wired the funds to a Flemingsburg mobile home dealer who used it to buy the family a used replacement home.
Another anonymous benefactor from Florida provided $10,000, which was used to buy a washer, dryer and beds for the eight children who lived in the home.
The home got stuck on U.S. 68 in Nicholas County when the wheels fell off a farm trailer that was hauling it across the road.
Traffic was diverted around the trailer for about nine hours.
When a sheriff ordered it be pushed off the road, the trailer was destroyed.
