Yard rescue for Olivia, 83: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Sacramento: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇸 Sacramento, California, United States888 views
I'm 83 and I have lived in this house in Sacramento for 40 years. After the storm in September, 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 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.
Thank you so much.

You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Yekaterinburg

Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Multan.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Sacramento.
Hope things get better soon, Olivia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Munich.
Sending good thoughts, Olivia. Looking forward to the next update. God bless
So sorry you're going through this. Wishing Olivia a smooth procedure and a full recovery
