Repairs & Clean-Up–Too Much!

WHAT A MESS!  The weather’s getting nicer, but there’s too many repair and clean-up chores.  What to do?!!!  Help yourself and someone else’s family by hiring a day-worker from a local day-worker center (e.g., St. Vincent de Paul).  Find one on Yelp or Google or even an old-fashioned phone book  Pay is usually $10-$15 an hour, and the center sends you people who are qualified to do the job you need done.  When not out on a job, these people spend their time in training, improving their English, and gaining skills that make them better workers for you while building a brighter future for themselves and their families.  So, what’s there to lose, except for that broken fence, or that peeling paint, or the hopelessness that these willing workers have felt in the past?
