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

I'm 82 and I have lived in this house in Birmingham for 43 years. After the storm in November, 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Keep going, Raymond. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Ottawa.
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Mysuru but we're thinking of you. God bless.
take care, Raymond. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
