Yard rescue for Edoardo, 81: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Edoardo, 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 Rome for 20 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 arthritis.
The council has told me it will be ten 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. Love from Coventry.
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from St. Petersburg.
