Clear storm damage from Ricardo's garden in Brooklyn
Garden rescue day in Brooklyn: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇸 11213, Brooklyn, New York, United States1,099 views
I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Brooklyn for 30 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 poor eyesight.
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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Thank you for reading my story.

best of luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best
sending love. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Wishing you peace, Ricardo. Hope you get there. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
