Yard rescue for Michael, 79: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Michael, 79, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Ottawa for 39 years. After the storm in October, 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 recent fall.
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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
