Clear storm damage from Joshua's garden in Austin
Garden rescue day in Austin: bring gloves and a rake.

I'm 82 and I have lived in this house in Austin for 20 years. After the storm in September, 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 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.

Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Best of luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
