Yard rescue for Jacques, 87: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Jacques's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇫🇷 Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France243 views
I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in Nice for 44 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 arthritis.
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.

shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Biratnagar.
Sending strength, Jacques. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Love from Stuttgart.

you're not alone, Jacques. Hope the doctors have good news. My husband and I read this together. God bless
It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Nice.
