Yard rescue for Victor, 90: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Victor, 90, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 90 and I have lived in this house in Embakasi for 44 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 eight 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending love. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Newcastle this morning
