With all the bad
press surrounding the neighborhood snow shoveling group, I thought I would pass
along some positive news to help their cause.
As I was trying to
dig my car out of the snow and ice that had been plowed into it yesterday
evening, two young boys approached, snow shovels in hand, and asked if I needed
help. I said no, but, appreciated their offer. They stood there, itching to
help, and I explained I didn’t have any cash on me. At that point, they
not only waived off my decline, but, told me they wanted to help and that I don’t
need to pay them. They just jumped in and started to shovel. They were helpful
beyond belief (I even had to keep an eye on them to make sure they didn’t
try to push the car when I tried numerous times to pull due to them repeatedly
asking me if they should try that as well). They stayed out in the dark
and cold and helped until enough snow was cleared to pull the car from the curb.
On top of that, I came home to find not only a huge, well-cleared rectangle in front
of my house to pull back into but, also, my new snow shovel where I had accidentally
left it, in haste, on the sidewalk. I asked how business had been that
day and they shrugged and said they made $10… I
thought it was nice that they were still in good spirits after what had
probably been a long evening for them.
Their names were
Michael and Neil…if anyone knows where they live, please let me know and
don’t be afraid of supporting these two with the next snowfall. They
work very hard J
