A day in the garden: help Bennett in Melbourne
Garden rescue day in Melbourne: bring gloves and a rake.
🇦🇺 3000, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia1,246 views
I'm 84 and I have lived in this house in Melbourne for 49 years. After the storm in August, 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 heart condition.
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: 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hang in there, Bennett. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
thinking of you, Bennett. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Melbourne.

Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Thinking of you, Bennett. Shared it with a few friends. After 12 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
