Volunteers wanted: Adriana's yard after the storm

Garden rescue day in Minneapolis: bring gloves and a rake.

Minneapolis
I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Minneapolis for 21 years. After the storm in October, 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 recent fall. The council has told me it will be eight 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    Sending strength, Adriana. Wishing Adriana a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Minneapolis

        Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Minneapolis.

          Rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 14 people at work
