Clear storm damage from Ihor's garden in Saint Petersburg
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Ihor's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Saint Petersburg for 36 years. After the storm in June, 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 six 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.
Thank you so much.

Stay strong, Ihor. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Saint Petersburg!
Thinking of you. Wishing Ihor a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
Hope you get there. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Saint Petersburg.
You're not alone, Ihor. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
