Yard rescue for Ximena, 78: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Ximena, 78, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we are looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 78 and I have lived in this house in Barcelona for 33 years. After the storm in April, 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 heart condition. 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. Glad we found this place.
