Volunteers wanted: Swati's yard after the storm
Garden rescue day in Burnaby: bring gloves and a rake.
🇨🇦 V4H 1G5, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada481 views
I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Burnaby for 35 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 arthritis.
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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings!
Hope it all works out, Swati. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 18 people at work.
Thinking of you, Swati. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Take care.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Guadalajara.
