I am Grateful for My Neighbors Who Helped Me During the Snowstorm… Please Help Your Neighbors!

My angels – my neighbors – shoveled my stoop and walkway in front of my house. It helped me immensely. I feel so grateful for them!

My neighbors are angels. They shoveled me out of my home and cleared the “igloo” atop my car so that I could drive to the Salvation Army. The people there, recovering from drug and alcohol addictions, need me. I feel so much joy helping them. Some of you may already know that I teach them how to take care of their nutrition, health and wellness, so that they have a better chance of living healthfully during and after their recovery. And, perhaps, they may even have a better chance of recovering. I feel appreciated there. My colleagues, who work there 24/7 do much more than I.

The Salvation Army, thankfully, cleared their walkways and parking lot.

So many people in your neighborhood need help getting around during emergencies. They may need to get to a grocery store, the hospital, their pharmacy. They may need water or shelter. But many of them will be too proud to ask.

My neighbor, Ramona’s, beautiful snow-covered bells.

I’m lucky that my neighbors know that I’m using crutches at the moment because of a sprained leg, and they help, whether I ask or not.

My guess is most of you do help people in need. I’m so grateful that my neighbors are among the angels in this world.
