Yard rescue for Magnus, 83: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Magnus's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 83 and I have lived in this house in Gothenburg for 49 years. After the storm in August, 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 twelve 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Hope the doctors have good news. After 25 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

    • Lillian J. Hatfield

      keep going, Magnus. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 29 people at work. Greetings from Jacksonville!
