A day in the garden: help Hong in Austin
Garden rescue day in Austin: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇸 Austin, Texas, United States125 views
I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Austin for 50 years. After the storm in May, two large branches and a fallen fence have blocked the back door and the garden path. I can no longer manage them myself because of a heart condition.
The council has told me it will be ten weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope things get better soon, Hong. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
