Yard rescue for Waylon, 76: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Brooklyn: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇸 Brooklyn, New York, United States806 views
I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Brooklyn for 40 years. After the storm in April, 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 arthritis.
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: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
I hope life is good to you.
