Yard rescue for Tomás, 87: fallen trees and overgrown beds

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

Palmira
I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in Palmira for 30 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 poor eyesight. 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
