Yard rescue for Colton, 84: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Colton, 84, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States683 views
I'm 84 and I have lived in this house in Los Angeles for 43 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 poor eyesight.
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.
