Clear storm damage from Noriko's garden in Kyoto

Noriko, 79, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

Kyoto
I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Kyoto for 28 years. After the storm in July, 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 my hip replacement. 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. I hope life is good to you.

    Helped when no one else could

    Couldn't have asked for better support. They listened carefully, understood my situation deeply, and provided thoughtful advice that actually worked. Thank you so much.

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.
