Yard rescue for Anwar, 76: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Anwar, 76, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇺🇸 San Antonio, Texas, United States824 views
I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in San Antonio for 45 years. After the storm in May, 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: 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.
