Volunteers wanted: Hatem's yard after the storm
Hatem, 72, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 72 and I have lived in this house in Medina for 25 years. After the storm in February, 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Arlington so I could bring a meal. Take care
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Medina.

Rooting for you, Hatem. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
