Yard rescue for Mega, 77: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Mega, 77, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we are looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 77 and I have lived in this house in Surakarta for 45 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 my hip replacement.
The council has told me it will be eight 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.
Glad we found this place.

Best of luck, Mega. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 8 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Hawassa.
Sending love. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Nashik this morning. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Mega. Wishing Mega a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Surakarta!
