Yard rescue for Wesley, 82: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Wesley, 82, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 82 and I have lived in this house in Jacksonville for 39 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 arthritis.
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: 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.
Thank you so much.

You're not alone, Wesley. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Allentown so I could bring a meal. Love from Johannesburg.
Shared this with my family. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Sending love, Wesley. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Butwal
