Clear storm damage from Miguel's garden in San Jose
Garden rescue day in San Jose: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇸 95131, San Jose, California, United States655 views
I'm 72 and I have lived in this house in San Jose for 36 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 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: 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out
Keep going, Miguel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
