Volunteers wanted: Winnie's yard after the storm

Winnie, 87, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

Zanzibar City
I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in Zanzibar City for 42 years. After the storm in November, 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 ten 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to 6th of October City so I could bring a meal. God bless.

      hope it all works out, Winnie. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Coventry.
