Yard rescue for Mirjam, 73: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in The Hague: bring gloves and a rake.
🇳🇱 The Hague, South Holland, Netherlands882 views
I'm 73 and I have lived in this house in The Hague for 27 years. After the storm in January, 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 arthritis.
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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
