Keep me Warm While I Shovel snow for the business I work for

Hi, My name's Katelyn, I'm 23, and I work for a family owned and run Funeral Home in Southern Maine.  The thing is, we cannot afford to hire anyone to do snow removal, so we all have to pitch in and help out.  Currently, the only boots I own are a pair of black boots with rips in them that I got for $5.00 at a Goodwill shop.  I own one pair of white long johns from 5 years ago, no whool socks, and cheap thin gloves.  I have an okay coat which helps, but shoveling snow every day requires much more than a coat, ripped boots, and thin gloves.  I would greatly appreciate a $100 dollar gift card to LL Bean so I can atleast get a decent pair of boots and thermal underwear.  In case none of you have ever been to Maine, I can assure you, it's freezing.  I've included a video to give you a better idea of what winter is like here.  I'm desperate for help.  I mean, I can only afford the one suit I wear to work EVERY DAY.  Please keep me warm this winter and the many more that will follow!!

I'm personally against wishnutting gift cards even though your need seems real.  Why don't you post the boots that you'd like to buy and I'll definitely give you my vote.  I finally bought my first pair of real snow boots last year.  Before that I had been using old sneakers and plastic bags over my socks.
