Clear storm damage from Evelyn's garden in Birmingham
Evelyn, 81, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 81 and I have lived in this house in Birmingham for 21 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 poor eyesight.
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.
Thank you so much.

sending love, Evelyn. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Hang in there, Evelyn. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 9 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
