Yard rescue for Audrey, 87: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Audrey, 87, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇳🇿 Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand539 views
I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in Auckland for 47 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 poor eyesight.
The council has told me it will be six weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
I hope life is good to you.

Hope things get better soon, Audrey. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Brasília
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. Love from Lucknow.
Wishing you peace, Audrey. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Pasig.
