A story about what being neighborly is all about. “I reported back to the neighborhood text thread, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. What came back, from one neighbor after another, was the same question: what can we do to help?”

There's a GoFundMe set up for the woman (and dogs!) featured in the story. I kicked in — perhaps you'd like to as well?
I don’t know if it’s all from us, but around $2K has been donated today. Awesome, thank you!

Turns out this is close enough to be a neighbor of mine. And yes, it looks like your post pushed that gofundme past its goal. 👊 You are top 1% in the weights after all.
