Yard rescue for Josiah, 72: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Josiah's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 72 and I have lived in this house in Dundee for 42 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 my hip replacement. 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. Thank you for reading my story.

                I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Dundee.

                  keep going, Josiah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Ekurhuleni so I could bring a meal. God bless.

                                Wishing Josiah a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.

                                  You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. After 20 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
