(Mays Landing, NJ) Bile Duct Cancer Stage IV Cancer Patient needs #Lawncare Help

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: I Want To Mow Your Lawn ®

65 year old Lee of Mays Landing NJ is battling Bile Duct Cancer Stage IV.

Their caregiver/agency contacted us on their behalf (via Lee's wife Linda 62 y/o) to help with upkeep of their lawn. Currently don't have coverage in the area, hence the outreach to the VolunteerMatch community here.

They can use some relief, not just physically but mentally - having to deal with the nasty health issues and all their co-payments particularly living on social security/disability.

When asked, Size of yard? "The front is about 50 x 75 and maybe the back is the same size or a little less. "

Do you have a lawn mower and a means to transport it over to 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.
