Clear storm damage from Brooklyn's garden in Winston-Salem
Garden rescue day in Winston-Salem: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇸 Winston-Salem, North Carolina, United States1,216 views
I'm 89 and I have lived in this house in Winston-Salem for 41 years. After the storm in May, 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: 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care, Brooklyn. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Shared this with my family. After 8 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Winston-Salem
Thanks for sharing this, Brooklyn. Hope this works out for you. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
