Yard rescue for Brooks, 72: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Brooks's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 72 and I have lived in this house in Adelaide for 45 years. After the storm in September, 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 my hip replacement.
The council has told me it will be eight 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good luck. Wishing Brooks a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
this could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Dhaka donated after I showed her your page.
Best of luck, Brooks. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Springfield
