A day in the garden: help Benjamin in Reading
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Benjamin's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Reading for 50 years. After the storm in May, 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: 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope it all works out, Benjamin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Take care!
