Yard rescue for Janet, 80: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Janet's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 80 and I have lived in this house in Arlington for 32 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 poor eyesight.
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: 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to A Coruña so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Arlington.
Stay strong, Janet. Wishing Janet a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Arlington
