I'm 92 and I have lived in this house in Vigo for 41 years. After the storm in January, 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 poor eyesight.
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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. 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.

Wishing Patricia a smooth procedure and a full recovery
so sorry you're going through this, Patricia. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Stay strong, Patricia. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Rohini so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Warren!
Hang in there, Patricia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
