Yard rescue for Wayne, 92: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Half-Way Tree: bring gloves and a rake.
🇯🇲 Half-Way Tree, Saint Andrew, Jamaica916 views
I'm 92 and I have lived in this house in Half-Way Tree for 25 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 twelve 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!
so sorry you're going through this, Wayne. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Medellín but we're thinking of you.
Sending good thoughts, Wayne. Hope you get there. Love from Riverside
