Quezon City
I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Quezon City for 28 years. After the storm in January, 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: 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. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

    • Rooting for you. Hope the doctors have good news. Blessings!

      • Hang in there, Miguel. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Riyadh.
