Yard rescue for Udari, 85: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Udari, 85, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Colombo for 49 years. After the storm in April, 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 recent fall. The council has told me it will be ten 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
