Yard rescue for Declan, 88: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Hamilton: bring gloves and a rake.
🇳🇿 Hamilton, Waikato, New Zealand869 views
I'm 88 and I have lived in this house in Hamilton for 42 years. After the storm in July, 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 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Hang in there, Declan. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best!
Keep going. Wishing Declan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Toronto donated after I showed her your page. Take care
Sending strength, Declan. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless!
