Volunteers wanted: Scarlett's yard after the storm
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Scarlett's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 73 and I have lived in this house in Aberdeen for 21 years. After the storm in July, 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 twelve 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.
Glad we found this place.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Aberdeen
You're not alone, Scarlett. Your post was clear and honest
rooting for you, Scarlett. Hope you get there. Don't give up
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
Hope things get better soon, Scarlett. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Aberdeen.
