Yard rescue for Riley, 84: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Los Angeles: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States1,065 views
I'm 84 and I have lived in this house in Los Angeles for 49 years. After the storm in July, 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 six 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
