Yard rescue for Alice, 89: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Alice, 89, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇮🇹 Messina, Sicily, Italy844 views
I'm 89 and I have lived in this house in Messina for 24 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 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
