Yard rescue for Michelle, 81: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Quezon City: bring gloves and a rake.
🇵🇭 1107, Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines934 views
I'm 81 and I have lived in this house in Quezon City for 46 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 poor eyesight.
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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Quezon City
Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Anaheim.
rooting for you, Michelle. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Sending strength, Michelle. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Sending love, Michelle. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Take care. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Naivasha
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Quezon City.
Take care, Michelle. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Nashville.
