Volunteers wanted: Lillian's yard after the storm
Lillian, 79, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Surrey for 39 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 recent fall.
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.
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you peace, Lillian. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Nagpur
Take care, Lillian. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
So sorry you're going through this, Lillian. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
Take care, Lillian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update.
