Yard rescue for Tammy, 71: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Tammy's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Bristol for 50 years. After the storm in March, 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 recent fall.
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: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Thank you for reading my story.

Best of luck, Tammy. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
So sorry you're going through this, Tammy. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hope it all works out, Tammy. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Wishing you the best. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
