Two ways to be part of this.

Rainbow Bridge of Hope is a Volusia County mission. Bridge sales go directly to Pat Allabaugh. Mission gifts support operations and suicide prevention outreach in our community. Honest, local, and accountable.

A word from Amber

Where your gift goes

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 in person that afternoon. Come support Pat, or send your gift here before Saturday.

Direct to Pat Allabaugh

Each handcrafted bridge Paul built finds a new home. Pat sells them. The money goes to her. His work, her income, your memorial piece.

This Saturday's goal

A ramp for Pat

Pat has muscular dystrophy. The stairs at her house are dangerous, so a ramp is not optional. It is how she gets in and out of her own home safely. Pastor Chad and Rob from Tomoka are ready to build it. The lumber from Home Depot runs about $1,000.

Two ways to help build it:

Send a gift through Amber's Venmo and add a note that says “Pat's ramp.” Every dollar goes to the wood.

Cover the lumber directly. Call your local Home Depot and coordinate with Pastor Chad and Rob on exactly what the build needs. Email Amber and she'll connect you.

“No weapon formed against you shall prosper.”

Isaiah 54:17

Your gift is proof that no weapon formed against Paul's legacy will prosper.

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 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. A photographer. An illustrator. A sculptor. An artist of any medium who can build something a family keeps on their mantle for twenty years. You don't have to be Paul. Nobody can be. You can be the next chapter — under your own name, your own style, your own hands.

Photographers, illustrators, metalworkers, glass artists, weavers — the medium doesn't matter. The grief doesn't pick a form. Whatever you make, if it can carry someone's love for the animal they lost, this door is yours.
