Clear storm damage from Nicolás's garden in St. Louis
Nicolás, 76, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in St. Louis for 35 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 heart condition.
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: 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 for reading my story.

Rooting for you, Nicolás. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of St. Louis
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 20 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
thanks for sharing this. Get well soon. Love from Pietermaritzburg.
Best of luck, Nicolás. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of St. Louis
