Yard rescue for Yi, 88: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Vancouver: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇸 98672, Vancouver, Washington, United States212 views
I'm 88 and I have lived in this house in Vancouver for 29 years. After the storm in December, 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: 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.

Best of luck, Yi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Busan
Hope things get better soon, Yi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours.
Hope the doctors have good news. After 12 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings
Best of luck, Yi. Wishing Yi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Mapo donated after I showed her your page!
