Yard rescue for Giovanni, 92: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Giovanni's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 92 and I have lived in this house in Catania for 37 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 recent fall. 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.

        Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out

          So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Machakos so I could bring a meal. Love from Mumbai!

            Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
