Yard rescue for Amber, 84: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Garden rescue day in Sheffield: bring gloves and a rake.

I'm 84 and I have lived in this house in Sheffield for 29 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 ten 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

      Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in San Francisco this morning. Thinking of Sheffield.
