A day in the garden: help Angelo in Manila
Angelo, 77, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we are looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 77 and I have lived in this house in Manila for 25 years. After the storm in December, 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 ten 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope it all works out, Angelo. 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. Thinking of Manila.
