Yard rescue for Filip, 88: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Filip, 88, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 88 and I have lived in this house in Gdańsk for 23 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 arthritis. The council has told me it will be six weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner. Help needed: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. Thank you so much.

        I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
