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

I'm 84 and I have lived in this house in Oakland for 29 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 a recent fall.
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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. 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.
