A day in the garden: help Manal in Sheffield
Manal, 83, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we are looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇬🇧 Sheffield, England, United Kingdom466 views
I'm 83 and I have lived in this house in Sheffield for 29 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 my hip replacement.
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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending good thoughts, Manal. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Québec donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
