Clear storm damage from Vikas's garden in Birmingham

Garden rescue day in Birmingham: bring gloves and a rake.

Birmingham
I'm 92 and I have lived in this house in Birmingham for 42 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 my hip replacement. 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: 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

        Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to El Paso so I could bring a meal. Love from Jakarta.

          Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Porto Alegre but we're thinking of you.

              Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from St. Louis
