Clear storm damage from Easton's garden in Oakland
Garden rescue day in Oakland: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇸 Oakland, California, United States796 views
I'm 90 and I have lived in this house in Oakland for 32 years. After the storm in January, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending strength. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best!
good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
Stay strong, Easton. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Caloocan donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
