A day in the garden: help Filippo in Brescia

Filippo, 85, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

Brescia
I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Brescia for 30 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 my hip replacement. 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. 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.

            Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
