Yard rescue for Arnel, 71: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Garden rescue day in Oakland: bring gloves and a rake.

I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Oakland for 27 years. After the storm in January, 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 six 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Keep going, Arnel. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Oakland

      Good luck, Arnel. Hope you get there. Sent it to 7 people at work. Blessings

        Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you

          Thanks for sharing this. Get well soon. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Coimbatore.

            Sending good thoughts, Arnel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

              Hope it all works out, Arnel. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Noida.
