Yard rescue for Liam, 71: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Liam, 71, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Toronto for 49 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 a recent fall.
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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Shared it with a few friends. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Good luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
