Hi Joseph,
First I have to say it is very, very nice to "speak" to you again. Thank you for your explanation. Just now I clicked on your above link for Snowcrew.org and when I tried to login it repeated said Error. So I guess that means I just continue to use Seeclickfix. I hope you are well.

Re today - sometimes the volunteer comes in the evening because they are working during the day. What is your feeling re today? Do you think there is any chance of someone coming during the day today? I actually don't know if people are at work today. I no longer have cable for the TV. My husband was the one who used TV the most and it was quite expensive.I stopped it after he died. But it does leave me rather out of touch.
Last year a spoke to you re another unrelated issue and I would like to mention it again. Is there a way of contacting you other than this website?
Thanks, Marilyn

Marilyn,

The chances of getting help are greater in the evening when people are done with work.

There is not a set volunteer who helps, rather a pool of people who help when they can. There is not a way to contact volunteers via snowcrew. Continue using SeeClickFix to communicate.

Joseph

Thanks Joseph. I know that normally the volunteers come after working hours but I was unsure about today because it is not very good out, Green line and Red line not operating last I knew. I mentioned to you once that I was going to look into Senior Subsidized Housing. You said you thought you know someone I could contact. If you still have the name of this person that I could use as a Resource, would you please let me know. Not exactly a Snow issue but I would love your help with this very important issue. Thanks, Marilyn

Hi Joseph,
In an effort to not appear ignorant I wanted to quickly comment on your explanation that the Snowcrew is "not a set volunteer who helps, rather a pool of people who help when they can." I know this because I have very gratefully been receiving assistance from this organization since the winter of 2010-11. Each time it is a different volunteer. When I said "the volunteer" I meant to convey that it is only one volunteer at a time who comes to offer assistance, not a group. And I know that the volunteers are working people who most often can only come after they are finished with work for the day. And I also know you cannot contact anyone directly as they are a pool. I just wanted to correct the mistaken impression I made when I used the term "the volunteer."

No one came last night. I know there is no way of knowing if anyone will come tonight either. I just wanted to make sure that everyone knew that my case was still open. Thanks, Marilyn

Hi Marilyn,

It sounds like we are on the same page is which is a good thing! Has anyone been by today?

Joseph

Hi Joseph,
No, no one ever came by today. Still waiting.
Thanks,
Marilyn

I will be over this morning to shovel out the car

I am just overjoyed to say that James K has come to shovel my car out again. I have never in my life been happier to see anyone as I am to see him here now shoveling and shoveling. I am so very grateful. Thank you James K and thank you Snowcrew!
Marilyn Bravo

Thank you James!

Joseph

I am writing again to say, once again, that this young man, James K, is nothing short of my winter savior! He is still working out there. The front yard was already piled very high with the snow from the previous storms so he has to lift the shovel of snow up on top of these very high mounds. He is still working out there! I have never felt more grateful in my life. With tears running down my face, I want to thank you to all the volunteers, most especially to James K, for helping those in need. He is most certainly an angel of mercy! With my deepest gratitude,
Marilyn Bravo

James has just left and I have never seen anyone work so hard and with such a cheerful attitude. Each time I spoke to him to thank him he has such a wonderful smile on his face. As I said before, James K is an angel of mercy to whom I will always be so very grateful.

It makes me happy to hear you got the help you need!

James K is Boston's Super Yeti!

Joseph
