Newcastle upon Tyne
I'm 92 and I have lived in this house in Newcastle upon Tyne for 49 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 poor eyesight. 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. Glad we found this place.

  • Thinking of you, Sharon. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Fresno but we're thinking of you. All the best.

    • keep going, Sharon. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

      • Hope things get better soon, Sharon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did

        • Hope you get there. Sent it to 9 people at work. All the best.

          • look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in Katowice donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne
