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

I'm 88 and I have lived in this house in Wollongong for 46 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 my hip replacement.
The council has told me it will be six 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.
Thank you so much.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Buenos Aires.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in New Delhi but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Bristol
