Yard rescue for Marwan, 85: fallen trees and overgrown beds

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

Joliet
I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Joliet for 38 years. After the storm in August, 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

            So sorry you're going through this, Marwan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
