Handmade by Paul Allabaugh · New Smyrna Beach, Florida
Paul's Bridges
Each one was built by hand on a bench in a workshop behind his house. 39 small bridges. 5 medium. 1 large. 30 squirrel feeders. When they're gone, they're gone forever.
This Saturday
June 6 · 1 to 3 PM · New Smyrna Beach
Amber and Jason are bringing Paul's bridges to Pat's neighborhood for a two-hour window. Five bridges stay with Pat. The rest sell here or in person that afternoon. When they're gone, they're gone.
Buy now to claim your place in line. Saturday afternoon you pick your actual bridge in person. Earliest payment picks first, so the sooner you buy, the better your pick. Walk-ins choose from whatever's left.
Just want to give, no bridge? Donate here.
This is the workshop
Paul made every bridge here. By hand. On the bench you're looking at.
The wood. The paint. The patience. The pencil drawings still on his bench. He was still planning bridges the week he died.
This is also where he died by suicide. Pat found him here.
The Lord turns rooms where the enemy took ground into rooms where He saves. Every bridge that leaves this workshop is a witness — to Paul, to his widow, and to anyone reading this who's closer to Paul's last moment than they've let themselves admit.
988. Call or text. A real person answers.
The bridge for you is one phone call.
Inside the workshop
A quiet tour of where the bridges came from.
He kept pet stencils on the wall. He kept a saw next to a whiteboard with the next order on it. He kept rows of finished work waiting for new homes. He was still planning bridges the week he died.
About the prices
Paul priced his work for survival. We price it for legacy.
His pencil drawings show what he charged: $20 for a small bridge, $40 for a medium, $50 for his largest. Handmade memorial pieces in painted wood. A 43-inch bridge for fifty dollars. He undervalued himself. Now the bridges represent something he couldn't see yet — the start of a coalition that saves lives. We price them accordingly. 100% goes to Pat.

From his workbench. Still there.
45 Bridges Remain
Paul will never make another one. Every bridge that finds a home is one fewer left in the world. When the last bridge is sold, the campaign shifts to digital memorials and ongoing mission support. You can also send a gift directly.

One of a Kind · Auction Piece
Paul's Last Large Bridge
A brand-new large bridge from Paul's workshop. The last of this size he ever built.
This is not a fixed-price item. It's a legacy piece. The bridge goes to the person or business who values Paul's final large work most. A comparable bridge already stands at Glencoe Veterinary Hospital in New Smyrna Beach as Dr. Ginger Bryant's — this one is its sister and its successor.
Auction format to be confirmed. Reserve starts at $2,500. Proceeds 100% to Pat Allabaugh.
Gift a Bridge

When the last bridge sells, the mission doesn't end.
Paul made every bridge by hand. When the last of his finds a home, the inventory is gone — but the calling isn't. The grieving pet owners don't stop arriving. The families don't stop needing something to hold.
We're looking for the next maker. A woodworker. A painter. A welder. A potter. An artist of any material who knows how to build something a grieving family will keep on their mantle for twenty years. You don't have to be Paul. Nobody can be. We're asking you to be the next chapter — under your own name, your own style, your own hands.
If that's you, the door is open. The audience is real. The story is already built. Pat is in our coalition. 988 stays on every page.
Bridges are sold directly by Pat Allabaugh. 100% of every sale goes to her. The Ghost Factory and Rainbow Bridge of Hope touch $0 of bridge proceeds.
