Yard rescue for Mabel, 81: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Mabel's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 81 and I have lived in this house in Tema for 36 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 twelve 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.
I hope life is good to you.
