Yard rescue for Alexa, 74: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Leeds: bring gloves and a rake.
🇬🇧 Leeds, England, United Kingdom1,016 views
I'm 74 and I have lived in this house in Leeds for 40 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 eight 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care, Alexa. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!
