I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Cleveland for 47 years. After the storm in June, 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 my hip replacement.
The council has told me it will be twelve 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending good thoughts, Travis. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Rooting for you. Wishing Travis a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Travis. Hope this works out for you. After 29 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care!
