Clear storm damage from Carmela's garden in Lapu-Lapu

Carmela, 85, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

Lapu-Lapu
I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Lapu-Lapu for 29 years. After the storm in May, 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 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. Thank you for reading my story.

          Take care, Carmela. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Lapu-Lapu.

            Rooting for you. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
