A day in the garden: help Juan in Sydney
Juan, 74, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 74 and I have lived in this house in Sydney for 36 years. After the storm in June, 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 six 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you peace, Juan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Ogbomosho.
Wishing you peace. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Sydney.
