Yard rescue for Jimena, 91: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Los Angeles: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States181 views
I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Los Angeles for 48 years. After the storm in June, 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 twelve 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

sending love. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Buenos Aires donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Los Angeles.
