Yard rescue for Serge, 80: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Serge, 80, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we are looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 80 and I have lived in this house in Strasbourg for 32 years. After the storm in March, 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 eight 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
