Yard rescue for Yu, 87: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Yu's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in Greensboro for 20 years. After the storm in July, 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 eight 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.
