Clear storm damage from Raúl's garden in Los Angeles

Garden rescue day in Los Angeles: bring gloves and a rake.

Los Angeles
I'm 73 and I have lived in this house in Los Angeles for 29 years. After the storm in March, 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 eight 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
