Yard rescue for Patrick, 75: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Patrick, 75, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 75 and I have lived in this house in Kingston for 37 years. After the storm in May, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Keep going, Patrick. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Kingston.
hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Kingston.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
