Volunteers wanted: Melanie's yard after the storm

Melanie, 86, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

Coventry
I'm 86 and I have lived in this house in Coventry for 26 years. After the storm in September, 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 eight 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

        Keep going, Melanie. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Coventry.
