Washington is home to lots of trees and lots
of fireplaces and wood-burning1too. But what if you lived
there and couldn't cut wood or wasn't able to pay someone to do it?2, Shane McDaniel and his
twin sons, Harrison and Henry McDaniel, 21, are happy to3an axe (斧头). The three men cut truckloads of wood, and then4it to those in need.
"I want to help people who are5cardboard because they've
got nothing else," Shane explained to heraldnet.com.
"The idea6as a father-son bonding (建立关系) project," he told msn.com. "I had to cut wood with my
dad. He just loved doing it," says Shane. He wanted to pass down that
feeling, so he and the twins spent the summer of 2018 cutting wood. The7was a great wall of wood8around their house. To buy
that much would cost about $10,000.
It was too much for the McDaniels themselves
to use, and when the weather turned9that November, Shane
started thinking of others. He10on Facebook, "If you
are in need of firewood and can't11it, please tell me! Please12me and my boys to make sure
no one goes cold in our neighbourhood."
The13was immediate. One man14to donate a wood-burning
furnace (火炉). Others raced over to
Shane's house,15more wood to the pile.
Single mom Katelyn Ticer and her four-year old
daughter16burning wood as their only17of heat, so it was a relief
to18a truckload of firewood
from the McDaniels. "To get that much wood brought me to tears," she
told msn.com. "So much19is off my shoulders. I
couldn't be more20. "
