Yard rescue for Ian, 86: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Ian's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 86 and I have lived in this house in Leeds for 49 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Los Angeles.
Rooting for you, Ian. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
take care, Ian. Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless
Keep going. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
