I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Ottawa for 26 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 9 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
