I, by no means, am any kind of gardener. In fact (keep your giggles to yourself, please and thanks), I mowed a lawn for the first time in my life earlier this month. To be fair, I’m allergic to (everything in the universe, no joke) cut grass, which is also an asthma trigger for me. I’ve been fortunate enough to have a staff of pals, and mainly my poor mother, to help me mow. This year, I decided to take charge. Well, I had to. My mommy was in a car accident and broke her sternum.

I’m quite stubborn — aside from emailing Oprah in the 2010s and begging her to buy me a new car — I rarely ask for help. (Oprah never wrote back.)But I’ve recently received help from a couple of nonprofits. After single-momming, Colorado inflation and a stagnant salary caught up to me, this aid was welcomed with open arms. Open, sobbing arms that likely terrified a few of the workers. (“Come hug me!” I wailed.)After applying, I readily qualified for my home to be weatherized.
