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

I'm 84 and I have lived in this house in Oakland for 46 years. After the storm in April, 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 twelve weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Oakland.
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Saket.
