A day in the garden: help Hiền in Hobart
Hiền, 91, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Hobart for 22 years. After the storm in September, 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: 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Stay strong, Hiền. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Hobart.
