Carol called for her husband Mark of Gretna, Louisiana -- He has Stage 4 cancer everywhere. In his blood, bones, and tumors on his right hip, right kidney, his left kidney was removed when the cancer was first found and he has cancer in his sinus cavity. Anyone available to cut their grass?


... He was also in a car accident that broke the hip wing bone which caused the inability to use his right leg.
He has the equipment needed IF you can't bring your own.

They sure could use some physical relief! Can you help?

Mission Statement

To preserve dignity, enable independence and build community by providing eco-friendly essential lawn service for the elderly, veterans and others in need.

Description

Launched in 2020 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, I Want To Mow Your Lawn (r) , a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (Tax ID: 853447661), offers completely free lawn care to seniors over 65, military veterans, the disabled, and those facing financial challenges - all while prioritizing eco-friendly practices. Founder Brian Schwartz, who was laid off from his digital advertising job, saw it as a chance to make a difference when the world felt chaotic.

As time progressed, the demand surged, and a growing number of volunteers joined Brian's mission. Currently, over 340 volunteers across 40 states have revitalized more than 500 yards. For those receiving assistance from I Want To Mow Your Lawn(tm), the grass might not always be greener, but it's neatly trimmed, edged, and raked.

Global media coverage has led to an impressive six-fold increase in volunteer sign-ups for the upcoming 2023 spring-summer season.
