Yard rescue for Lawrence, 83: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Hamilton: bring gloves and a rake.
🇨🇦 Hamilton, Ontario, Canada1,236 views
I'm 83 and I have lived in this house in Hamilton 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 arthritis.
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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope things get better soon, Lawrence. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
