Volunteers wanted: Dinesh's yard after the storm
Garden rescue day in Edinburgh: bring gloves and a rake.
🇬🇧 EH7 8ST, Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom646 views
I'm 80 and I have lived in this house in Edinburgh for 25 years. After the storm in November, 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 eight 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this, Dinesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings
Stay strong, Dinesh. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Dhaka.
