A day in the garden: help Gerald in Sydney
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Gerald's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 73 and I have lived in this house in Sydney for 48 years. After the storm in March, 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 eight weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.

You're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. I hope July is when things finally get easier!
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Sydney.
