Yard rescue for Franco, 91: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Franco, 91, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇮🇹 Messina, Sicily, Italy192 views
I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Messina for 43 years. After the storm in March, 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: 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
