A day in the garden: help Nevaeh in Springfield

Nevaeh, 88, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

Springfield
I'm 88 and I have lived in this house in Springfield for 40 years. After the storm in April, 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: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. 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.

      you're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Saket so I could bring a meal
