A day in the garden: help Maria in Toronto
Maria, 81, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 81 and I have lived in this house in Toronto for 32 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: 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.

Sending strength. Wishing Maria a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Bogor.
Sending love, Maria. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
