Yard rescue for Jose, 77: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Jose's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 77 and I have lived in this house in Hamilton for 42 years. After the storm in April, 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 36 people at work. Take care
Keep going, Jose. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. All the best.
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from San Francisco.
You're not alone, Jose. I hope things turn around soon. All the best
