Volunteers wanted: Benoît's yard after the storm

Benoît, 85, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

Paris
I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Paris for 35 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 arthritis. 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. Thank you so much.
