Yard rescue for Habib, 81: fallen trees and overgrown beds

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

I'm 81 and I have lived in this house in Leeds for 27 years. After the storm in May, 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 a heart condition. 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Good luck, Habib. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

      So sorry you're going through this, Habib. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend

      • Derek D. Adams

        Stay strong, Habib. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Kumasi.

          Thinking of you, Habib. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 19 people at work. Blessings

            Praying for you, Habib. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Port Harcourt so I could bring a meal.

            • Kiptoo Mukasa Kioko

              Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Muzaffarpur.

              • Autumn D. Sutton

                Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Comilla but we're thinking of you

                • Mahmoud Karim Benali

                  Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Pune this morning. Take care.

                      Sending love, Habib. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Manchester.

                        This could happen to any of us. After 29 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

                          Sending strength. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Frankfurt.
