Good neighbors are hard to come by. Sometimes I think it’s hard to be a bad neighbor but then I found out about these neighbors doing wholesome things for each other and thought maybe I’m wrong?
Wholesome acts of kindness go a long way. They can make someone’s day and when it’s your neighbor it’s even better. It’s nice to know you’re surrounded by good people sometimes.
These wholesome neighbors spreading kindness in their own special ways are inspiring.

Yesterday, unknown to him while he was watching television, this group saw smoke coming from the roof of his house. Rather than ignore it, they were concerned for their neighbor and alerted him, and us. They got Mr. C out of his house while a neighbor climbed out the window with a fire extinguisher and slowed down a burning exhaust fan that was on fire. We arrived, removed the fan, and finished extinguishing the fire in the roof. Damage was limited, due in no small part to the actions of these concerned citizens. We have our share of struggles, but we do have a Great City, we do work together, and we do care about one another…”
