BRANDON, South Dakota (AP) -- An 8-year-old girl with a big heart and loose tooth found a creative way to help people displaced by the hurricanes.Briton Nordmeyer of Brandon sent her tooth to the Red Cross chapter in Sioux Falls, hoping the tooth fairy would leave money there instead of under her pillow.The tooth poked a hole through the envelope and fell out, but her letter made it.And after word spread of her generosity, a $500 check came in from an anonymous donor, said Jeff Stingley, director of the Sioux Empire Red Cross chapter.Briton had told her mother she wanted to do something for the children who lost everything."It's really nice to help them get new food, homes, schools, toys, lots of stuff to help them," Briton told KELO-TV of Sioux Falls.Stingley said Wednesday the $500 anonymous check was the only one that mentioned the tooth, but he believes Briton's story prompted other donations to the chapter.Copyright 2005 The Associated Press.
