Yard rescue for Eliana, 81: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Eliana, 81, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇬🇧 Sheffield, England, United Kingdom217 views
I'm 81 and I have lived in this house in Sheffield for 24 years. After the storm in December, 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 six weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Halifax donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Halifax.
Praying for you, Eliana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Wishing you peace. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Jodhpur
Thanks for sharing this, Eliana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
