A day in the garden: help Allison in Los Angeles

Allison, 71, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

Los Angeles
I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Los Angeles 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 poor eyesight. 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
