Yard rescue for Emilia, 85: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Emilia's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in București for 28 years. After the storm in September, 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you peace, Emilia. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Vitória da Conquista.
Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
