This is a tough one folks, involving a Korean War veteran's widow who is in desperate need of help dealing with a situation at her home in Pittsburgh's Westwood neighborhood.

Just take a look at the picture below. You're seeing my friend Carlos McClintock surveying a canopy of trees and vines that cover this sweet woman's entire backyard.

It's so overgrown, you can barely see where her property ends and the neighbor's begins. That is why the neighbor, understandably, filed complaints with the City of Pittsburgh. Now this widow needs help before she's buried in fines with no money to get the work done.

Other neighbors reached out for help and contacted Get Marty. That's how we were able to tap in our tree expert, Carlos McClintock. He didn't hesitate to help and put a plan of action into place with his team at Greater Pitt Tree Service.

Watch the video on this page to see why Carlos and his team keep stepping up to give back.

The plan started with clearing from the neighbor's yard and making sure everything was cut back. That should be enough to hold it off until winter where mother nature will thin things out. In the spring, Carlos and his team will be back to finish the job for good.

Now that is amazing work,from an amazing company, and amazing people that really do care.
