Volunteers wanted: Marwan's yard after the storm
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Marwan's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 74 and I have lived in this house in Joliet for 24 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 arthritis.
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: 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Rooting for you, Marwan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
