Clear storm damage from Adrian's garden in Detroit

Garden rescue day in Detroit: bring gloves and a rake.

Detroit
I'm 75 and I have lived in this house in Detroit for 23 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 heart condition. The council has told me it will be eight 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      Hope it all works out, Adrian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
