A day in the garden: help Todd in Calgary
Todd, 78, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 78 and I have lived in this house in Calgary for 38 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 ten 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.
Glad we found this place.

So sorry you're going through this, Todd. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Shinjuku.
Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Bangkok.
your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Calgary.
Thanks for sharing this, Todd. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Calgary
