A day in the garden: help Claudia in Mendoza

Garden rescue day in Mendoza: bring gloves and a rake.

Mendoza
I'm 77 and I have lived in this house in Mendoza for 50 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 arthritis. 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
