In the aftermath of last weekend’s snowfall, Meghan Sullivan-Boustainy raises a grateful shovel to Tara Marie.

The Westport mom posted an offer on social media: Her children wanted to aid older people who needed help clearing after the storm.

Meghan’s elderly father was staying in Westport, at the home of a friend who is blind. With Meghan in New York, the two were stuck.

They were short on food, and needed to get out. But there was a steep staircase — and the car and driveway were covered with snow.

Tara responded quickly to Meghan, and her father. Her children — already working for others — would be there in a few hours.

It turns out that Meghan’s sister and her children drove from Stamford to shovel the pair out.

But, Meghan says, “I thank Tara and her family for reaching out to help a family they’ve never met” — along with many others.

“Such kindness is special,” Meghan says. “Happy New Year!”

Not Tara Marie’s child — but you get the idea.
