Yard rescue for Emilia, 80: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Orlando: bring gloves and a rake.

I'm 80 and I have lived in this house in Orlando for 29 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 twelve 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Greetings from Leeds.
Good luck, Emilia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Shinjuku so I could bring a meal.
