Volunteers wanted: Lydia's yard after the storm
Garden rescue day in Bristol: bring gloves and a rake.
🇬🇧 Bristol, England, United Kingdom1,363 views
I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Bristol for 38 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 arthritis.
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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. 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.

Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Bristol
Praying for you, Lydia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update.
hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from London
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
You're not alone, Lydia. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Lahore.
You're not alone, Lydia. Hope the doctors have good news.
Stay strong, Lydia. Looking forward to the next update. After 26 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Essen
