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

I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Poitiers for 47 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 poor eyesight.
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: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
