Volunteers wanted: Rachel's yard after the storm

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Rachel's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in Perth for 43 years. After the storm in June, 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 poor eyesight. 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. Thank you so much.

              Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Perth.

                              Thanks for sharing this, Rachel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 20 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care

                                  Hang in there, Rachel. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
