Yard rescue for Hannah, 73: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Sacramento: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇸 Sacramento, California, United States1,423 views
I'm 73 and I have lived in this house in Sacramento for 22 years. After the storm in March, 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 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
