Casseroles pour in for two weeks; treatment lasts eight months. A lawn kept all season, without being asked twice, tells a sick person the help isn’t going away once it stops being new.
Mow Their Lawn All Season
When someone starts chemo, dialysis, or a long recovery, take over their lawn for the whole season — every week, no asking, until they're back on their feet.
What you'll need
- Your own mower and trimmer
- A recurring slot on your calendar
What to say
"Your lawn is mine until you're through this. I mow Thursdays. You'll never see a text about it — it'll just be done."
Pitfalls
- Commit to the season, not to one mow. Week nine is the one that preaches.
- Match their standard, not yours — edge it if they edged it.
- Never let it become a conversation they have to manage. Mow and go.
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. — Galatians 6:9
