Hello neighbor,
Thank you for requesting shoveling assistance via Snowcrew.org. My name is Joseph Porcelli and I am the founder and volunteer organizer of Snowcrew. Snowcrew.org is online matching tool that helps connect the elderly, disabled, sick, pregnant, and injured who are not physically able to shovel, or cannot afford to hire someone to shovel them out with nearby neighbors who can and want to help.
Are you looking for help from this storm or for future storms? If for future storms you will need to request assistance each time it snows. This will let our volunteer "Yetis" know you need help and if anyone has helped you or not already.
As a reminder, by submitting a request you do so at your own risk. There is no fee for being shoveled. If you are looking to hire someone or a contractor to shovel you, its up to you and you must state so clearly.
If anything changes or your end or you find alternate shoveling assistance, please let us know by posting a comment. By doing so, you will inform those who may be heading over to help you that you are all set and allow our volunteers shovelers and organizers to focus our efforts on others who need help.
Please also keep in mind it may take a couple of days to get dug out and most volunteers are only able to do so in the evening or on the weekend as most work during the day. As a volunteer, during the week, I help out in the early morning, during my lunch break and after work. On the weekends, I have more flexibility.
If you have not done so already, please sign up for our email updates so we can stay in touch -https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/USNEIGHBORS/subscriber/new.
You can stay in touch with us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/snowcrew.org
Thanks,

Hi Grace,
Thanks for the update and I am regret hearing you did not get the help you need. We're just getting started in NJ and so far 183 people have signed up - we are going to need a lot more.
I do my best to get the word out that you need help. Keep in mind we do this a volunteers in our free time and there is no guarantee you'll be shoveled out.

Grace - I just posted your case to our facebook page -https://www.facebook.com/snowcrew.org/posts/10153830958455367?stream_ref=10
Hopefully this will help.
I forgot to mention, if you are having a medical emergency or don't fee safe you MUST call 911. Snowcrew is not an alternative for emergency services.

Kelly and friends,
You all are so wonderful and are the exact reason why do what we do and so spend so much of our free time organizing this project.
We say that snowcrew is about shoveling but it is also about connection and bonds. You all have proven that today.
If anyone of you happened to take pictures - please upload them here to the case and share them on our facebook page so we can spread the good word about this neighborly awesomeness!
Please share your story with everyone you know to help spread the word about Snowcrew.org. We provide the technology, your provide the neighborliness.
Your neighbor in DC,
Joseph Porcelli
