Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Helping Our Neighbors in a Winter Storm


--by k3lly83, posted Jul 15, 2018
We are the local Yankees in the neighborhood down here and we must own the only snow shovel in the whole neighborhood. So we haven't had power, but we've stayed warm by shoveling the snow starting in our driveway and then our neighbors on our dead end hillside street and then for the mile long country neighborhood with a hundred houses packed in between cotton field and pastures.

We also drug away the downed trees and limbs so when the weather improves enough to go out, there won't be any obstacles. It will also help when the power crews come so they can get to the problems faster.

It felt so great to be able to help our neighbors. After all, it was only a few days of hard labor in the end.
