Volunteers wanted: Dennis's yard after the storm
Garden rescue day in Laredo: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇸 Laredo, Texas, United States1,280 views
I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Laredo for 41 years. After the storm in August, 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 my hip replacement.
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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family, Dennis. This could happen to any of us.
keep going, Dennis. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Iztapalapa
sending good thoughts. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Chiang Mai.
