Clear storm damage from Neil's garden in Knoxville

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

I'm 92 and I have lived in this house in Knoxville for 24 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 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. Thank you for reading my story.

    Rooting for you, Neil. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Seoul.
