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

I'm 81 and I have lived in this house in Berlin for 38 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: 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending strength, Kevin. Get well soon. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Kevin. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. All the best.
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Kevin. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Cincinnati donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Ogbomosho.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.

So sorry you're going through this, Kevin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
