Adama
I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Adama for 49 years. After the storm in November, 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 twelve weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner. Help needed: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

            Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Victoria
