A day in the garden: help Addison in Toronto
Addison, 92, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 92 and I have lived in this house in Toronto for 23 years. After the storm in July, two large branches and a fallen fence have blocked the back door and the garden path. I can no longer manage them myself because of poor eyesight.
The council has told me it will be twelve weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Thank you so much.

Good luck, Addison. Get well soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Hang in there, Addison. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. After 16 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Aurangabad.
take care, Addison. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
Sending good thoughts. Get well soon. Put this on a community board in Mapo this morning.
