  Well when someone needs that pancake, you know what to do.
context: Sha’Kyra Aughtry is amazing for all that she did to help this man.  
  According to articles, the man she rescued lives in a group home because he is mentally disabled.  She took took him in and cared for him over the holiday because EMT wasn’t able to respond due to the blizzard.  She appealed for help over Facebook and helped him with essentials such as eating, using the bathroom, etc because his hands are so injured from frostbite.
  I hope her actions get the attention they deserve.  It’s difficult even to care for family/loved ones that need this type of medical assistance and she did so for a stranger during the holidays. >
  
  Buffalo is commonly known as “the city of good neighbors”. This is why. Our city gets battered with insane weather and history has been unkind to our local economics. But no matter what, we bend over backwards to help our neighbors in need. If you ever get stuck in a snow bank somewhere you better hope it’s Buffalo because every neighbor who sees you and owns a shovel will be out to help you in no time.

  my dad lived in Buffalo in the 70s when "The Big One" hit.   he still tears up thinking about the people who froze to death in their cars because some couldnt get out.   He said his neighbor and him were out all night shovelling snow just to get people OUT of their cars in downtown.   Buffalonians are great. >
  
  My dad ALWAYS shoveled the driveways, stoops and sidewalks for all the elderly on our block. 
  We grew up on the west side and then he moved out to Orchard Park and continued the habit, just for the normal, healthy younger neighbors. Kept him busy and warm, is what he said. One day he came home, absolutely ecstatic to report that he made a shovel buddy up the street with none other than Doug Flutie, who lived in our townhouse complex, unbeknownst to us, with a handful of other Buffalo Bills players. He was out doing the same for his immediate neighbors and my dad considered him forever a class act for that. He even kept a box of Flutie Flakes on the fridge, in allegiance. 
  My dad had a lot of stories like this and they always had two things in common: community and that fucking snow. >
  
  Shit, I wish I had THAT connection for my “Flutie Flakes” addiction at the time. I lived off of that cereal for like a year, haha. I dunno what it was about them, but they were the perfectly delicious sugar coated flake cereal. Never found a comparable one. >
  
  Aren’t they just sugared Wheaties? I never actually ever tried them. >
  
  They were kind of like the flake from something like “honey bunches of oats”…thicker where they wouldn’t go soggy easily, but they would absorb some milk so they’d be like the perfect crunch + softish. They were tasty too - besides the sugar coating, it was a quality flake flavor. This sounds so ridiculous talking about Doug friggin Flutie’s cereal, but I loved it! Haha
  I’ve tried a lot of flakes, generics of all kinds…never found em. You’d think they would just be a rebranded existing cereal - but I never found em
  I have an unopened box that has to be close to 25 years old. I have thought about opening it many times. I wonder if they’d still be good? Ha >
  
  Poor old guy... hope he recovers well. Watch for each other out there folks, something that stuck out to me from this story is the fact that nobody was coming, she was just on a list. If we don't watch out for each other, nobody else will. These folks should be honored as heroes but this kind of heroism shouldn't be so rare. >
  
  That's awesome, good for her for doing what she can.  It's acts of kindness like this that help get us through these tragedies. 
   As Mr Rogers said, look for the helpers.  
  Fingers crossed Joe makes a full recovery, poor dude. >
  
  Acoording to the article he's recovering from 4th degree frostbite. They may need to amputate the frostbitten parts of his hands, at least according to a quick Google search. Poor guy. 
  At least Sha'Kyra and Trent and the other kind volunteers were able to get him to a hospital for treatment. One can only hope the damage was minimal... >
  
  ...holy crap. 4th degree means it went down to the bone. >
  
  Wish I didn’t look up pictures of this.. >
  
  (pat pat pat) Go watch some Flatbush Cats on Youtube. >
  
  Sha’Kyra Aughtry and Trent are some real life heroes >
  
  Louder for the people in back honey >
  
  I would love to give you an award for most unnecessarily cliché comment of the day but I'm out of coins. >
  
  But I was in the back and couldn't hear it :( >
  
  The city of good neighbors strikes again >
  
  We need more Sha’Kyras and Trents in this world. >
  
  Be the change you want to see in the world. >
  
  But, all I have is this pancake 🥞
