Yard rescue for Lydia, 90: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Garden rescue day in Sydney: bring gloves and a rake.

I'm 90 and I have lived in this house in Sydney for 46 years. After the storm in September, 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 poor eyesight. 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: 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.

    Sending strength. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from A Coruña.

      So sorry you're going through this, Lydia. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
