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

I'm 86 and I have lived in this house in Houston 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 a heart condition.
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.

Thanks for sharing this, Madelyn. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Mbarara this morning
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Houston.
