Newark Delaware -- Yard Work Lawn Care Help Disabled Senior Woman Volunteer Landscaping

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: I Want To Mow Your Lawn ®

68 year old woman lives alone in Newark Delaware...

She has been trying to do her own yard work but she's been on disability for quite some time with spinal issues. Two years ago she had both shoulders replaced. The surgeon who did the right side turned her 'upside down' now with so many debilities and chronic pain -- just doing daily chores is a hardship.

She provides a riding lawn mower - we just need a regular volunteer helper who is physically abled and willing to help for remainder of the year and going into next year -- to help her around the property with upkeep.

Experience with landscaping is not required as she's very knowledgeable with lawn care and can show you the ropes!

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.
