He has been carrying letters for the members of this community for nine years, which was enough time to build great relationships among the neighbors.

Meet Margo

One of the houses Ra’sheen passes by is 81-year-old Margo’s, and she’s known for being caring toward her yard.

An Accident

Sadly, Margo took a heavy fall three years ago that sent her to the hospital and caused her mobility to become limited. Now, she can only walk around using a cane, making it difficult for her to tidy up her yard all by herself.

He Wanted To Help

Knowing her story, it broke Ra’sheen’s heart when he saw Margo doing yard work alone, so he took a photo of her hauling palm fronds to a pile in her front yard.

Looking For Volunteers

Ra’sheen shared the photo in a Garfield Historic Neighborhood group and asked for help from the community – to which a woman named Stephanie Young responded.

She Can Do It

Stephanie owns a business called Clean Sweep House Cleaning, which offers yard and handy work services. She volunteered to clean Margo’s yard for free during her day off.

A Great Community

Because of Stephanie’s charity, and Margo’s other neighbors’ efforts and help, the old woman’s yard was already in perfect shape a week after her 81st birthday – all thanks to an awesome community’s help.
