Clear storm damage from Fernando's garden in Quezon City

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Fernando's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

Quezon City
I'm 81 and I have lived in this house in Quezon City for 32 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 arthritis. 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
