Volunteers wanted: Walter's yard after the storm
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Walter's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 83 and I have lived in this house in Parramatta for 33 years. After the storm in August, 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Take care, Walter. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Munich.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Johannesburg

You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
