Yard rescue for Alyssa, 76: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Alyssa's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Yonkers for 36 years. After the storm in May, 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 twelve 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.
Thank you so much.

Get well soon. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
You're not alone, Alyssa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
