Volunteers wanted: Adalynn's yard after the storm
Adalynn, 81, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 81 and I have lived in this house in Wellington for 33 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Fort Worth.
Good luck, Adalynn. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
