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

I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Yonkers for 40 years. After the storm in April, 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care, Mariana. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope June is when things finally get easier. God bless.
