Volunteers wanted: Manaia's yard after the storm
Manaia, 83, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 83 and I have lived in this house in Auckland for 40 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 recent fall.
The council has told me it will be eight weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

hang in there, Manaia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Las Cruces this morning. Take care.
gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Auckland.
