Yard rescue for Nova, 92: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Nova's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇳🇿 Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand474 views
I'm 92 and I have lived in this house in Auckland for 45 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 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: 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Keep going, Nova. Get well soon. My husband and I read this together.

Sending love, Nova. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 18 people at work.
