A day in the garden: help Thijs in Haarlem

Garden rescue day in Haarlem: bring gloves and a rake.

Haarlem
I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in Haarlem for 27 years. After the storm in April, 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: 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
