Yard rescue for Janet, 92: 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 92 and I have lived in this house in Denver for 36 years. After the storm in June, 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 recent fall.
The council has told me it will be twelve 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.
Thank you so much.

Wishing you the best, Janet. This could happen to any of us. After 23 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted. Love from Ciudad de México
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Denver.
Sending strength, Janet. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Janet. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Gazipur this morning.
