Yard rescue for Carter, 87: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Carter, 87, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in Lansing for 31 years. After the storm in June, 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: 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
