Yard rescue for Dennis, 91: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Dennis's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Los Angeles for 25 years. After the storm in December, 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 heart condition.
The council has told me it will be eight 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for sharing this, Dennis. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Lansing.
so sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Melbourne donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
