Sometimes the smallest yards hide the biggest struggles.
Margaret, a longtime disability recipient, is the sole caregiver for her elderly mother Bonnie, who recently fractured her pelvis in three places and is now in rehab. With no family or friends nearby and no home health aide since November, Margaret has been managing everything alone-including trying to keep up with their modest lawn on a low household income.
Last summer, a kind volunteer (Ron) mowed their small yard weekly. He’s no longer available (recently retired and has travel plans), and we’re hoping someone nearby might be willing to step in-even just once or on occasion. Whatever you can do it's appreciated, there are no commitments. Ron shared that it took less than 20 minutes using basic lawn tools. The yard is small, but the impact of showing up is enormous.
This is a real chance to help someone who’s given so much of herself caring for others. Margaret is kind, grateful, and emotionally exhausted-and mowing her lawn would lift a huge weight.
We understand everyone has busy lives. But if you're in or near Middletown, OH and can spare a few minutes with a mower or trimmer, this is your opportunity to make a genuine difference.
- No long-term commitment required
- Bring your own gear (Toro push mower, trimmer, blower ideal)
- One-time or recurring support appreciated
Sign up today-your kindness could bring relief to someone who’s truly on their own.
