I was driving to Aldi’s, with my 15yo daughter, yesterday and saw this elderly man trying to clear his driveway. We went to Aldi’s. I called my 17 yo son and told him to get the shovel and dress warm because we were going to clear a driveway.
I went home picked him up and went to find the man and his driveway. It took a little help from the local postman (the man had gone inside and all the streets kinda look the same..lol..).
Anyway, we found the house and started in….the driveway had probably 3-4″ of ice under the snow. It took us an hour+ but well worth it. The man told us that he couldn’t afford to pay us..”we are doing this because we want to,” I kept telling him. He was on his way out and gave me $3 when he left. Before we left, we zipped to BigLots and bought some ice melt salt (partially paid for with his $3) and made sure that his driveway and path to the front door was well salted. We left the bag by his front door so he could use it in the future. 
Even though it was 32 degrees, it really wasn’t too cold. We had a very nice time helping this stranger!

Bless you for helping him. Cold weather, fraile or elderly and manual snow removal can end in tradgedy. You could very well have saved his life. I pray that you are blessed for your actions.
