Yard rescue for Henk, 79: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Henk, 79, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇳🇱 2079 BJ, Haarlem, North Holland, Netherlands703 views
I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Haarlem for 49 years. After the storm in May, 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 my hip replacement.
The council has told me it will be eight 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.
I hope life is good to you.
