Yard rescue for Nova, 88: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Fresno: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇸 93740, Fresno, California, United States96 views
I'm 88 and I have lived in this house in Fresno for 22 years. After the storm in February, 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 poor eyesight.
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: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Fresno
Rooting for you, Nova. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Praying for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Ikeja
Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Ho but we're thinking of you.
stay strong, Nova. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
