Yard rescue for Maricel, 84: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Maricel, 84, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 84 and I have lived in this house in Pasig for 37 years. After the storm in December, 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 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.

Take care, Maricel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
keep going. Get well soon. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Sending strength, Maricel. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Auckland.

Best of luck, Maricel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
hope it all works out, Maricel. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Accra but we're thinking of you. Blessings
Stay strong. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you the best, Maricel. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
take care. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from St. Petersburg.
