Volunteers wanted: Allison's yard after the storm
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Allison's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇬🇧 Coventry, England, United Kingdom666 views
I'm 84 and I have lived in this house in Coventry for 32 years. After the storm in August, 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: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.

Your post was clear and honest. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Riyadh!
you're not alone, Allison. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Giza but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Wishing you the best. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Kikuyu.
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Grenoble
Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 12 people at work. All the best.
Rooting for you. Wishing Allison a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Wishing you the best, Allison. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 35 people at work. Blessings.
thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Coventry.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Salem.
