Volunteers wanted: Daniel's yard after the storm
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Daniel's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇺🇸 Joliet, Illinois, United States497 views
I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in Joliet for 41 years. After the storm in November, 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

So sorry you're going through this, Daniel. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Zapopan.
