INDIANAPOLIS — Sometimes it takes a village to get through days like Monday.
WRTV’s Rachael Wilkerson found neighbors helping each other overcome the challenges heavy snow can bring.
Snow caused headaches for many but it also sparked kindness.
WRTV “This whole block is gonna get cleaned up today,” Joseph Ward said.
68-year-old Ward had already shoveled four Haughville sidewalks and had plans to keep going.
“My auntie makes five, and then somebody else elderly that could need to be helped. I try to help them,” he said.
WRTV Ward said he lives by several elderly women and doesn’t want anyone to get hurt or scammed to get their sidewalks cleaned.
“They can’t do it themselves and nobody wants to help them. Let’s do something for the elders. You know, that’s what I’m saying. It’s coming from my heart,” he said.
On the north side, Donald Grossett and his next-door neighbors spent the morning shoveling a shared driveway.
WRTV “These big snow storms are kind of the scary events, and we’re all going to get a little older, so we take our time,” he said. “Lots to pile. We’ve never had this much.”
