Yard rescue for Ella, 77: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Ella's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 77 and I have lived in this house in Arlington for 43 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 a heart condition.
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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you and your family, Ella. Get well soon. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Ella. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Flint
good luck. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
