Yard rescue for Ping, 88: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Ping, 88, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 88 and I have lived in this house in Adelaide for 27 years. After the storm in July, 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 my hip replacement.
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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts, Ping. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Port Harcourt.
