Yard rescue for Pamela, 87: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Garden rescue day in San Jose: bring gloves and a rake.

I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in San Jose for 29 years. After the storm in April, 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 six 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.
