Yard rescue for Comfort, 87: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Comfort's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in Madina for 38 years. After the storm in November, 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 my hip replacement.
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: 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family, Comfort. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours
