A day in the garden: help Josephine in Southampton

Josephine, 72, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

Southampton
I'm 72 and I have lived in this house in Southampton for 39 years. After the storm in January, 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 eight 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
