Clear storm damage from Avery's garden in Los Angeles
Garden rescue day in Los Angeles: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇸 90084, Los Angeles, California, United States174 views
I'm 86 and I have lived in this house in Los Angeles for 44 years. After the storm in July, 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 my hip replacement.
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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Best of luck, Avery. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
You're not alone, Avery. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
so sorry you're going through this, Avery. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Houston so I could bring a meal.
Praying for you, Avery. Get well soon. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Good luck, Avery. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
