A day in the garden: help Philippe in Nice
Philippe, 71, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Nice for 39 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 a heart condition.
The council has told me it will be eight 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.

- 3–5 hours

Sending love, Philippe. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Raleigh so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Philippe. Hope this works out for you. Take care
Sending good thoughts, Philippe. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Sending good thoughts, Philippe. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Nice.
Thanks for sharing this, Philippe. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 27 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Stay strong, Philippe. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Gazipur but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Nice!
Thinking of you and your family. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Thane.
good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Dar es Salaam.

Best of luck, Philippe. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Sending good thoughts, Philippe. Get well soon
Praying for you, Philippe. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care!
