Yard rescue for Josephine, 86: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Josephine, 86, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 86 and I have lived in this house in Rochester for 39 years. After the storm in July, 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 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

good luck, Josephine. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Madurai
Take care. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Sukkur but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Good luck, Josephine. Looking forward to the next update.
