Elderly Neighbors Go to Work When They See a Need on Their Street and Get Special 'Thank You'

Elderly neighbors JoBeth and LaVar helped a struggling family on their street and ended up getting thanked in a way they never expected.

Life is a constant series of unexpected and unforeseen events. As a result, those situations can leave people needing help every now and then. Perhaps the need has something to do with finances, or it may even be a small, seemingly minuscule task needing completion.

Whatever the need may be – large or small – helping someone out and fulfilling a need can mean the world to others.

Elderly Neighbors See A Need And Help Out

A clip posted on YouTube tells the story of two lovely individuals, an elderly couple – JoBeth, 88, and LaVar, who is 90 years old. Unfortunately, JoBeth and LaVar’s neighbors endured one of life’s unexpected events. Their neighbors were forced to confront a series of health issues.

As everyone knows and understands, when health situations or other such issues occur, other tasks fall by the wayside during these times. The focus and energy are on battling that much more pressing situation.

But that’s when JoBeth and LaVar got to work. Those two sweet and caring elderly neighbors lent a hand, helping with yard work while the struggling family attended to their health emergencies. 

Their neighbor mentioned that LaVar, at 90 years old, bundles up, makes his way outside and clears their driveway whenever it snows. 

But that is not all. LaVar, without being asked, came over and mowed his neighbor’s lawn in the summer.

LaVar’s wife, JoBeth, also helped their neighbors. She took care of their trash cans. She took it upon herself to ensure they got emptied and were always off the street.

For their loving works, LaVar and JoBeth received a basket of goodies when a team of journalists showed up at their house to show them some much-deserved appreciation.

The unexpected gift overwhelmed JoBeth but she greatly appreciated it.
