What ever happened to being neighborly?

When it snows my father now shovels out 4 houses, his own, and three neighboors (2 are elderly and one is bedridden with cancer). He does it for free, before he is even asked, by the time the sun is up, he has been out there 2 hours.

What bothers me is that there are several young couples on his block that pay a service to clear their driveways and sidewalks. Despite this, these young guys never come out to help my father while he is breaking his back out there.

Whatever happened to looking after your neighbors?

They won't help anyone because they [themselves] PAY for services rendered.

God bless your father. He is a good man.
