Yard rescue for Harold, 77: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Harold, 77, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 77 and I have lived in this house in Tallahassee for 26 years. After the storm in April, 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. 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.

- 3–5 hours

So sorry you're going through this. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Pokhara donated after I showed her your page. Love from Pokhara
You're not alone, Harold. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Nagpur.
Wishing you peace, Harold. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Łódź
Good luck. Hope you get there. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Take care, Harold. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 9 people at work!
Keep going, Harold. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Bogra but we're thinking of you
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Love from San Diego.
Hang in there. Get well soon. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Tallahassee.
