Clear storm damage from Aiden's garden in Yonkers
Garden rescue day in Yonkers: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇸 Yonkers, New York, United States394 views
I'm 72 and I have lived in this house in Yonkers for 48 years. After the storm in April, 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
