Yard rescue for Yu, 73: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Springfield: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇸 Springfield, Massachusetts, United States403 views
I'm 73 and I have lived in this house in Springfield for 49 years. After the storm in March, 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 eight 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone, Yu. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Coventry.
