Clear storm damage from Willow's garden in Austin
Garden rescue day in Austin: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇸 Austin, Texas, United States1,206 views
I'm 72 and I have lived in this house in Austin for 27 years. After the storm in December, 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 six 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

wishing Willow a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Thinking of you, Willow. I hope things turn around soon.
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Austin.
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Bogotá but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Austin.
best of luck. Hope this works out for you. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
So sorry you're going through this, Willow. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Oakland.
