A day in the garden: help Mia in San Diego

Mia, 91, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

San Diego
I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in San Diego for 47 years. After the storm in October, 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 arthritis. 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Keep going, Mia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
