Yard rescue for Sophie, 86: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Garden rescue day in Aurora: bring gloves and a rake.

Aurora
I'm 86 and I have lived in this house in Aurora for 30 years. After the storm in October, 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 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. I hope life is good to you.
