Yard rescue for Nicholas, 78: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Nicholas's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 78 and I have lived in this house in El Paso for 37 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 arthritis.
The council has told me it will be six weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.

Keep going, Nicholas. Get well soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Praying for you, Nicholas. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of El Paso.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from London.

wishing you the best, Nicholas. Hope the doctors have good news. Blessings!
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care!
