Yard rescue for Makoto, 73: fallen trees and overgrown beds

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

Kyoto
I'm 73 and I have lived in this house in Kyoto for 24 years. After the storm in June, 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 my hip replacement. 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.
