Clear storm damage from Duha's garden in Birmingham
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Duha's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 72 and I have lived in this house in Birmingham for 36 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you, Duha. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 26 people at work. God bless
