A day in the garden: help Allan in Mandaue
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Allan's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 77 and I have lived in this house in Mandaue for 33 years. After the storm in February, 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 my hip replacement.
The council has told me it will be eight weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good luck, Allan. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Love from Pune!
sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Munich
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best!
Sending love, Allan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. God bless
Wishing you the best, Allan. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Mandaue.
Best of luck. Wishing Allan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
Sending good thoughts, Allan. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Hope things get better soon. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Guadalajara!
I hope things turn around soon. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Mandaue.
Hope things get better soon, Allan. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Allan. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Varanasi.
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless!
Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Mandaue.

Thinking of you and your family, Allan. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
