Yard rescue for Sophie, 71: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Sophie, 71, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Munich for 28 years. After the storm in August, 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 six weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you peace, Sophie. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Thinking of you, Sophie. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Thanks for sharing this, Sophie. Hope the doctors have good news!
Hang in there, Sophie. Hope this works out for you
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Munich.
