just a thought, if you have difficulty raking the leaves, for whatever reason, you might contact a girl scout or boy scout troop. They are generally looking to have good deeds and community service hours. the same for some of the high schools, many have community service hours necessary for graduation. they will rake the yard if she's not able to and do it with a smile.
If anyone wants to rake and/or mow my lawn, please feel free to do so. I'll even provide the rake or mower.
