Yard rescue for Jürgen, 85: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Jürgen, 85, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Augsburg for 23 years. After the storm in May, 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 ten 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Augsburg.

          Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Augsburg
