Yard rescue for Lily, 79: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Leeds: bring gloves and a rake.
🇬🇧 LS13 5PJ, Leeds, England, United Kingdom967 views
I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Leeds for 25 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 eight 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 hope life is good to you.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
You're not alone, Lily. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 24 people at work. Love from Liverpool!
