A day in the garden: help Katherine in Los Angeles
Katherine, 91, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we are looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Los Angeles for 23 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: 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Take care.
best of luck, Katherine. Get well soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Los Angeles.
