Yard rescue for Caroline, 81: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Caroline, 81, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 81 and I have lived in this house in Likoni for 39 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 a heart condition.
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: 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.
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength. Get well soon. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Hang in there, Caroline. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
