Yard rescue for Natalia, 85: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Natalia, 85, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Macon for 22 years. After the storm in April, 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 twelve 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.

Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Macon.
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Macon.
Sending love, Natalia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. Take care!
