A day in the garden: help Waylon in Philadelphia
Waylon, 82, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇺🇸 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States498 views
I'm 82 and I have lived in this house in Philadelphia for 42 years. After the storm in January, 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 recent fall.
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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you the best, Waylon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Girona.
