Clear storm damage from Henry's garden in Wellington
Henry, 71, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Wellington for 20 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope things get better soon, Henry. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
best of luck, Henry. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Praying for you, Henry. Get well soon. Love from Cairo.
