A day in the garden: help Josiah in Fresno

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Josiah's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

Fresno
I'm 77 and I have lived in this house in Fresno for 22 years. After the storm in August, 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 arthritis. 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Wishing you peace, Josiah. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

      Rooting for you, Josiah. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.

        It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 14 people at work.

          Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.

              Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
