A day in the garden: help Sophie in Leeds
Sophie, 75, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 75 and I have lived in this house in Leeds for 25 years. After the storm in May, 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 heart condition.
The council has told me it will be eight 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing Sophie a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Ankara so I could bring a meal. All the best.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Leeds.
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Best of luck, Sophie. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
good luck, Sophie. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
