A day in the garden: help Lauren in Birmingham
Garden rescue day in Birmingham: bring gloves and a rake.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom895 views
I'm 80 and I have lived in this house in Birmingham for 46 years. After the storm in August, 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 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 so much.

good luck, Lauren. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
