Yard rescue for James, 77: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking James's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 77 and I have lived in this house in Glasgow for 29 years. After the storm in June, 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Thinking of you, James. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Take care.

      Good luck, James. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

        hope things get better soon, James. Hope you get there. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Glasgow

          Hope it all works out, James. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 36 people at work.
