A day in the garden: help Maria in Houston
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Maria's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 75 and I have lived in this house in Houston for 35 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 recent fall.
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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
