A day in the garden: help Axel in Newcastle upon Tyne
Axel, 78, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 78 and I have lived in this house in Newcastle upon Tyne for 29 years. After the storm in September, 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 ten weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Londrina.
thinking of you and your family, Axel. This could happen to any of us. After 13 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
wishing you the best, Axel. Hope you get there. Blessings.
