Clear storm damage from Harper's garden in Surrey
Harper, 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 Surrey for 24 years. After the storm in September, 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 recent fall.
The council has told me it will be six 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.

rooting for you, Harper. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Take care. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Guarulhos!
wishing you peace. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. God bless
Praying for you, Harper. Wishing Harper a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Zaria.
Wishing you peace, Harper. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Kisumu but we're thinking of you. Love from Kisumu.
