    Description

    Two Elders. Overgrown Yards. No Help in Sight. Be the One Who Shows Up.

    We have two elderly neighbors in North King County whose yards are completely overtaken by weeds and brush.

    They physically can’t do it themselves and they don’t have anyone else to call.

    This isn’t just about curb appeal. It’s about dignity, safety, and being seen.

    We Need YOU If You Can:

    • Pull weeds, mow, or trim back overgrowth
    • Spend an hour or two outside helping someone feel human again
    • Show up with heart and maybe even a rake

    You don’t need to be a pro landscaper just someone who gives a damn.

    We’ll guide you, coordinate everything, and celebrate your impact.

    Flexible times. One-time or ongoing.

    Bring a friend, a teen who needs service hours, or just yourself.

    Let’s not leave our elders in the weeds.
