Yard rescue for Angel, 88: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Yonkers: bring gloves and a rake.
๐บ๐ธ Yonkers, New York, United States455 views
I'm 88 and I have lived in this house in Yonkers for 26 years. After the storm in April, 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 recent fall.
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.

Thinking of you and your family, Angel. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Yonkers.
Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
