Yard rescue for Isabel, 76: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Isabel, 76, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we are looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Bucaramanga for 36 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 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.
I hope life is good to you.

You're not alone, Isabel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Love from Dar es Salaam.
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
