A day in the garden: help Evelyn in Cairns
Garden rescue day in Cairns: bring gloves and a rake.
🇦🇺 4877, Cairns, Queensland, Australia297 views
I'm 89 and I have lived in this house in Cairns for 28 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 twelve 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Take care. Wishing Evelyn a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Stay strong. Get well soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Rawalpindi.
Praying for you, Evelyn. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless!
Hope it all works out, Evelyn. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours.
