What happened to neighbors helping neighbors?

Tweet

I live in a very small community. There's probably only around 200 people here. Everyone knows everyone. More importantly (to this post) is the fact that everyone knows I'm living here alone with a baby. We just got hit with a snow storm that left a foot of heavy, wet snow. It drifted even deeper in some places. I don't have a driveway so I have to park just off the edge of the road. Right now my van is buried up over the front bumper, the snow is piled higher than the bottom of the doors. There is no way I can get it out. I also have a long side walk just to get out there which of course isn't cleared either. I've seen every single one of my male neighbors out shoveling and plowing and snow blowing their walks and driveways but not a single one came to see if I needed help. It's not that I physically can't do it myself but they all know I have a small baby. Do they think I should just leave him in the house alone while I go out to shovel?! I just don't see how they can all just go about their business without any concern for me. It would take all of 5 minutes with a plow, maybe 10 or 15 minutes with a snow blower. It's not like I'm expecting much...or am I? I thought neighbors were supposed to help neighbors.
