He should have considered that before committing whatever crime he did. Hours are not "rolled back". He can perform the community service on weekends and evenings. He has three years to do the hours which works out to approximately 167 per year or about 3 hours per week. That is far from an impossible task. He needs to set his mind that he is going to live up to his responsibilities and do it.

He will need to work weekends and evenings. Its punishment, its not supposed to be convenient.
