A day in the garden: help Zoe in Manchester

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Zoe's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

Manchester
I'm 72 and I have lived in this house in Manchester for 20 years. After the storm in June, 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 ten weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner. Help needed: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Manchester
