A day in the garden: help Isabella in Dundee

Isabella, 82, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

Dundee
I'm 82 and I have lived in this house in Dundee for 33 years. After the storm in June, 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 six 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 for reading my story.

    Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Bangkok so I could bring a meal. Love from Chennai.

      Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Sydney.
