Yard rescue for Bella, 80: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Bella, 80, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇦🇺 Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia612 views
I'm 80 and I have lived in this house in Wollongong for 28 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 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: 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Praying for you, Bella. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Dasmariñas but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Dasmariñas.
Sending love, Bella. Hope the doctors have good news
