Yard rescue for Santiago, 90: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Santiago's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 90 and I have lived in this house in Sheffield for 50 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 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.

Praying for you, Santiago. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Sheffield.
hang in there, Santiago. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Kinondoni but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Thiruvananthapuram.
