A day in the garden: help Silas in Erie
Garden rescue day in Erie: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇸 Erie, Pennsylvania, United States584 views
I'm 81 and I have lived in this house in Erie for 41 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 my hip replacement.
The council has told me it will be six 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Stay strong, Silas. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 19 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Praying for you, Silas. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
