A day in the garden: help Gloria in Southampton
Garden rescue day in Southampton: bring gloves and a rake.
🇬🇧 Southampton, England, United Kingdom236 views
I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Southampton for 48 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 heart condition.
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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Bloemfontein.
So sorry you're going through this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Birmingham so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
