Yard rescue for Vitaly, 76: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Vitaly's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Saint Petersburg for 28 years. After the storm in February, 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: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. Glad we found this place.
