A day in the garden: help Peter in Mannheim

Peter, 87, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

Mannheim
I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in Mannheim for 33 years. After the storm in June, 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: 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

          hope things get better soon, Peter. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

                  Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
