Volunteers wanted: Marilyn's yard after the storm
Garden rescue day in Kelowna: bring gloves and a rake.
🇨🇦 V6T 1Y2, Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada965 views
I'm 80 and I have lived in this house in Kelowna for 44 years. After the storm in March, 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Lucknow donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
