Join us in a heartfelt mission to uplift and support Claire and her two sons during their profound time of need. Recently widowed after her husband's long battle with Alzheimer's, and caring for her sons who are on the autism spectrum, Claire faces overwhelming challenges. The family’s property reflects their hardships, marked by a hazardous maple tree and a beloved but deteriorating deck, which both pose a threat to their safety and well-being.

We are calling on compassionate volunteers skilled in landscaping, carpentry, and general maintenance to help restore safety and joy to their home. This volunteer opportunity is a chance to make a tangible difference in the lives of a family who has faced adversity with courage. Your expertise can transform their neglected yard into a sanctuary where they can heal and find peace.

If you're moved to use your abilities for a noble cause, please step forward. Let’s rally around this family and show them the strength of our community. Your efforts can turn their space into a haven of safety and tranquility. Together, we can not only rebuild a home but also restore hope and happiness to Claire and her sons. Join us in making a profound impact-one home, one family at a time.

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.
