Clear storm damage from Frank's garden in Southampton
Frank, 88, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 88 and I have lived in this house in Southampton for 37 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.
Thank you so much.

Rooting for you, Frank. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Cairo donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Frank. Hope you get there. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Southampton.
Take care. Your post was clear and honest. I hope July is when things finally get easier.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 5 people at work.
Thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Salem.
hope things get better soon, Frank. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Ludhiana so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Southampton.
