Yard rescue for Walter, 88: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Walter, 88, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we are looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 88 and I have lived in this house in Karlsruhe for 46 years. After the storm in June, 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 six weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. 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.

Praying for you, Walter. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up.
Keep going, Walter. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
Sending strength. Wishing Walter a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Mar del Plata but we're thinking of you.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 17 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Louisville
