Yard rescue for Nathaniel, 72: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Nathaniel's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

Tema
I'm 72 and I have lived in this house in Tema for 44 years. After the storm in June, 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 eight weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner. Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. 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.

      Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Monterrey so I could bring a meal. God bless.
