Yard rescue for Ivy, 79: fallen trees and overgrown beds

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

Sacramento
I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Sacramento for 21 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 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    So sorry you're going through this, Ivy. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Hamilton donated after I showed her your page. Take care.

      Best of luck, Ivy. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Savar.
