Yard rescue for Kristine, 76: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Kristine's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Davao City for 49 years. After the storm in December, 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 eight 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.

Hope things get better soon, Kristine. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours.
So sorry you're going through this, Kristine. Hope the doctors have good news
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 16 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Sending good thoughts, Kristine. I hope things turn around soon!
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Dublin.
