A day in the garden: help Yang in Worcester
Garden rescue day in Worcester: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇸 Worcester, Massachusetts, United States1,570 views
I'm 88 and I have lived in this house in Worcester for 20 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 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: 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
