10岁男孩志愿为医务工作者清除积雪

Last Month, Abbey Meeker and her friend’s son, Christian Stone, 10, removed snow off more than 80 cars at Westerly Hospital. “Christian wanted to do something good for nurses about a month ago when it stormed, and he said next time it snowed, he wanted to clean cars off for nurses because of COVID-19,” Abbey said. “I told him I would come with him.”

“I was thinking they’ve been helping us a lot through this whole pandemic, and I thought why don’t we help them, you know?” said Christian. “All day, every day the nurses here, they deal with the pandemic like COVID-19 and they want to get home from work, so we thought we would make it a little bit easier for them by cleaning off their cars for them.”

Abbey said they made it into a game: when they’d hear someone unlock their car, the pair would run and make sure the car was ready. “It’s been cold but very fun seeing how happy they get,” said Stone. Abbey and Christian said sometimes some of the nurses offered to pay them for their services. “We just said, ‘We’re doing this for you guys cause, and you’re here for us’,” said Abbey.
