Yard rescue for Julian, 78: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Julian, 78, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 78 and I have lived in this house in Birmingham for 28 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 heart condition. The council has told me it will be six weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner. Help needed: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. Thank you so much.

    you're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 40 people at work. Thinking of Birmingham.

      keep going, Julian. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 7 people at work. Love from San Francisco
