A day in the garden: help Jacob in Las Cruces
Jacob, 87, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in Las Cruces for 41 years. After the storm in February, 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

hang in there, Jacob. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
sending strength, Jacob. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Fayetteville but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Take care, Jacob. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
Best of luck, Jacob. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Łódź so I could bring a meal. Love from Badagry
Thinking of you and your family. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out
