Request: Cinder blocks & several wood posts (Berkley) - Does anybody have some cinder blocks and/or 4x4 wooden posts they would like to part with? I live in a rental property & desperately need to build a makeshift fence that's movable but sturdy and respectable, that doesn't look trashy. Why? Well, to keep my neighbors 3 kids OUT of my yard for the rest of however long they'll be staying here (technically they've been evicted but for some reason it's taking them SO LONG to finally be removed). They are all horrible people in so many ways but the number 1 reason I urgently need a fence is because recently we discovered that they've tortured & killed *at least* 2 of the feral cats that live around here that we & another neighbor take care of, like TNR'd, fed them, looked out for their well-being, etc. (Yes the police are aware but can't do anything without it being on video or caught in the act basically). I know that at least one of our poor cats was lured by these rotten children as they were sprawled out across my yard (which is connected to theirs, no fence or anything) with a bowl of food & a bit of determination. We are devastated by this and would like to do everything we can to prevent this from happening again in the future. They've always have a real problem following directions and minding boundaries, but only now did we become aware that they are cat murderers so until they are gone we need to do something to prevent our sweet outdoor friends from suffering the same fate. We don't have much money at all, which is why I'm hoping someone on here has some extra materials they are done with or wouldn't mind parting with that we could build a fence with ASAP. THANK YOU so much in advance.

Request: Astroturf (Berkley) - Hi there I'm looking to acquire some astroturf for both my yard as well as to share with some of my animal rescuer friends. I currently have the world's worst neighbors who not only refuse to have their kids play in their own (much bigger) yard that I have always taken great pride in making look pristine, but they also were so wasteful with the water & electricity that used to be included with everyone's rent that my landlord is actually taking that perk away now because of their waste. Not only that but they are always plucking the grass on purpose, spitting, urinating, throwing large obnoxious tantrums etc etc in my yard I used to seek refuge in taking care of. Yes, it's no exaggeration. Landlord says they've supposed to have been evicted already. But alas, they remain! No idea how much longer we have to put up with this but man, I look forward to the day it's over. However the damage and disrespect they have shown will echo on long after they've left, because my landlord isn't gonna change back the policy of utilities included in rent. I'm low income & disabled, and I'm not going to be able to afford to water my grass AND my vegetable garden I'm planning for this year. But we also must keep our yard & grass looking extra green. This is why I'm looking to see if anyone has any extra astroturf scraps laying around that they want to donate. My yard isn't huge. I already have a little bit. Anything extra I might receive I will be donating to local animal rescuing friends if mine who can always use it. Thank you in advance Sorry for the long story.

Request: Knee scooter (Berkley) Withdrawn - Does anyone have a knee scooter from an old injury that's taking up space in their house that you'd be interested in lending or blessing us with? My husband just had a bad accident spinning out on his ebike when there was a bunch of gravel in the road & severely injured his ankle. He has to wear this giant boot and isn't supposed to put any weight on it so he's using crutches and/or a cane but our house is pretty small so he's having trouble getting around with the crutches & sometimes tries to walk without assisting devices (which hurts and he isn't supposed to do). A knee scooter would solve this issue for him. We do have a vehicle to meet you somewhere. We don't have any extra money right now to buy one but we do have interesting things to trade if anyone is interested. Please and thank you
