I have emailed the unit. I’ve also volunteered to work with an AARP group that prepares taxes for people of low and moderate income, especially those above the age of 60. I’m waiting to here back from them.

Barbara and EWW — THANKS for kicking this off! This is exactly the kind of stuff I’m talking about.
Barb, what a moving letter. Thanks for including the link. As my first official S.O.S., I sent an email to the troop in Israel. I encourage people to follow the link you posted above, and to write to the troop at: unit5037@gmail.com …
EWW — I spent the morning today with a twenty-foot roof rake, pulling snow down off the ice dams on our roof. Also, hauling the kids around on the sleds, and building Oval Egg People out of snow. Meyer spent a good hour plus feeding the Oval Egg People pinecones and leaves. (They were hungry.) Hey — he’s four — that probably counts as an S.O.S. for him!

I helped my neighbor during the last Ice storm to clean off his walk way, clean off his cars so that they could be moved before the plows arrived. This is an ongoing
concern this winter – will it ever end.

Great idea, Josh. Here are our SOS moments:
1. Jon is returning from his 5 day family mitzvah in New Jersey.

2. In the meantime, I received a letter last week from my friend in Israel with a letter attached from her son. I can’t seem to attach the letter to this comment, but I have put it on Flickr. We have made a donation to his troop. They are also looking for email words of support:
