A day in the garden: help Robbert in Haarlem
Robbert, 88, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 88 and I have lived in this house in Haarlem for 27 years. After the storm in February, 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 recent fall.
The council has told me it will be ten 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.
Glad we found this place.

thinking of you and your family, Robbert. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Robbert. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
You're not alone, Robbert. Wishing Robbert a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 5 people at work. Thinking of Haarlem!
Stay strong, Robbert. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
