Yard rescue for Nova, 80: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Nova, 80, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 80 and I have lived in this house in San Diego for 39 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 heart condition.
The council has told me it will be ten 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.
Glad we found this place.

stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of San Diego.
Take care, Nova. Shared this with my family. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
