A day in the garden: help Alberto in Rome

Alberto, 87, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

Rome
I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in Rome for 34 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 a recent fall. The council has told me it will be six weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner. Help needed: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      Wishing you the best, Alberto. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
