Help 61 yr old Disabled Veteran w/ Cancer in Hilton, NY w/ Lawn Services as Volunteer. She has served 17 years and 9 months in the Army until she was in a car accident that left her with 13 herniated or bulging discs. She was medically discharged. This April, she was diagnosed with non small cell carcinoma in both lungs. It is inoperable due to her COPD (she would never make it out of the anesthesia because her lung function is so low). Needless to say, her husband has been taking care of her for several years due to her breathing problems. On May 31st this year, her husband was in a horrible motorcycle accident which put him in the Trauma Unit for 2 weeks at Strong Memorial Hospital. A man pulled in front of him and he flew over the handlebars, hit the man’s windshield with such force that the windshield was inside his car. Her husband flew over the roof and back of the car and landed approximately 30-40 feet away. By the grace of God he is on the mend. He sustained a break in his back at T-5, a fractured left hip and elbow, multiple broken toes and a broken right collarbone. As of last week the neurosurgeon said his collarbone is approximately an inch and a half away from joining the remainder of his collarbone. By the end of the day, he is in incredible pain just trying to take care of her.

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.
