Clear storm damage from Brooks's garden in Chattanooga
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Brooks's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 89 and I have lived in this house in Chattanooga for 27 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 a recent fall.
The council has told me it will be ten 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending love, Brooks. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update
Best of luck, Brooks. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up.
Sending strength, Brooks. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Chattanooga.
Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Chattanooga.
Hope things get better soon, Brooks. Wishing Brooks a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
