Volunteers wanted: Reagan's yard after the storm

Garden rescue day in Oakland: bring gloves and a rake.

Oakland
I'm 90 and I have lived in this house in Oakland for 20 years. After the storm in June, 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 eight 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. Thank you so much.
