Yard rescue for Zoe, 88: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Zoe's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 88 and I have lived in this house in Fresno for 36 years. After the storm in January, 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 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. Thank you so much.
