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

I'm 84 and I have lived in this house in Rochester for 43 years. After the storm in August, 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 poor eyesight.
The council has told me it will be twelve weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.

Hope things get better soon, Mauricio. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
praying for you, Mauricio. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
Keep going, Mauricio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Hope you get there. Thinking of Rochester.
Thinking of you, Mauricio. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
