Volunteers wanted: Eugene's yard after the storm

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Eugene's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in San Jose for 38 years. After the storm in June, 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 heart condition. The council has told me it will be ten 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

        It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
