Yard rescue for Pieter, 88: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Pieter's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇳🇱 Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands987 views
I'm 88 and I have lived in this house in Amsterdam for 28 years. After the storm in October, 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 recent fall.
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 so much.

Sending love, Pieter. Wishing Pieter a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope January is when things finally get easier.
Sending love, Pieter. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Amsterdam.
