Volunteers wanted: Nuala's yard after the storm
Nuala, 89, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇮🇪 Cork, Munster, Ireland418 views
I'm 89 and I have lived in this house in Cork for 31 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: 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Hang in there, Nuala. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Cork.
Best of luck. Wishing Nuala a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Lagos.
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope September is when things finally get easier. God bless
stay strong. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out
Wishing you the best, Nuala. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Shubra
Sending love, Nuala. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
sending love, Nuala. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Cork.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Duque de Caxias donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Hope things get better soon, Nuala. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless!
Rooting for you, Nuala. Shared this with my family. God bless.
You're not alone, Nuala. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope September is when things finally get easier. God bless.
