Yard rescue for Dustin, 76: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Dustin, 76, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Toledo for 50 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Take care. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 29 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Juiz de Fora.
