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

I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Marseille for 31 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: 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.

Best of luck, Patrick. Hope you get there
Sending love, Patrick. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Patrick. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
Wishing you the best, Patrick. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
