Volunteers wanted: Jack's yard after the storm
Jack, 71, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Edinburgh 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 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Rooting for you, Jack. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Edinburgh
Hope it all works out, Jack. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
You're not alone, Jack. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Anaheim.
Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
