Yard rescue for Salvador, 85: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Salvador, 85, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Fort Collins for 46 years. After the storm in June, 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 poor eyesight.
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.
Glad we found this place.

You're not alone, Salvador. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Karlsruhe so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Salvador. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Duque de Caxias.
Take care, Salvador. This could happen to any of us!
Thinking of you and your family, Salvador. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
take care, Salvador. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
