Volunteers wanted: Giovanni's yard after the storm
Giovanni, 85, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Rome for 25 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 my hip replacement.
The council has told me it will be twelve 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.

Thinking of you, Giovanni. Wishing Giovanni a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

Sending strength, Giovanni. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Sapporo this morning. God bless
Shared it with a few friends. After 28 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Rome.
Sending love, Giovanni. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
