Yard rescue for Natalie, 90: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Natalie, 90, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 90 and I have lived in this house in Birmingham for 37 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you the best, Natalie. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Tiruchirappalli.
wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 25 people at work. Love from Nice.
hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
