Yard rescue for Paloma, 80: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Paloma, 80, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

Envigado
I'm 80 and I have lived in this house in Envigado for 37 years. After the storm in March, 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 ten 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

      sending strength, Paloma. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
