Yard rescue for Francesca, 82: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Francesca, 82, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we are looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 82 and I have lived in this house in Rome for 33 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 a heart condition.
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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Rochester donated after I showed her your page.
Praying for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Pasig but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
