Volunteers wanted: Sophie's yard after the storm

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Sophie's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

Red Deer
I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Red Deer for 45 years. After the storm in April, 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 my hip replacement. The council has told me it will be twelve 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

          Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Riverside.
