Yard rescue for Rubén, 79: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Rubén's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Los Angeles for 23 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 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.

Wishing you the best. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Fayetteville so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 9 people at work. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Praying for you, Rubén. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 28 people at work. Blessings
