A day in the garden: help Walker in Bakersfield
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Walker's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 88 and I have lived in this house in Bakersfield for 41 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 six weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending love, Walker. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from St. Petersburg!
