      She should have contacted social services, they would have helped giving her information and pointed her inn the right direction before it led to this. I personally think if at all possible , a council flat would be so much easier for Barbara. No repairs to think about or maintain, only decorating to do.
      I dread to think what the total cost will be, how wet the walls are. Every part of the building looks like it needs replaced..
      Think trying to sell and find a small flat / house with a small garden she can maintain herself will be so much better for her as I feel even the garden will be too much for her :(

    Do people just not help their elderly neighbors anymore? Man when I was a kid I was going around mowing lawns for them, keeping their bushes trimmed, cleaning gutters, repairing damage "well what I could" because I am scared of heights. Neighbors should be ashamed of letting a neighbors house get this bad. Poor lady really needed help and I thank you for helping her. She obviously and desperately needed this.

    • @Beth-kg1lz
      @Beth-kg1lz 16 дней назад +16

      Our local councils in the uk look after the housing they own and it has to be up to a certain standard. But for privately owned properties you must maintain them yourself, which sadly, Barbara hasn’t done for whatever reason. If she asked for help she could get rehoused but with the state her property is in they would probably move her and sell her place for redevelopment. The onus is on the owner to ask for help if they can’t maintain their property. Is it fair? Well most people are able to maintain their homes or have family to help. Also older folk often don’t have the advice about upkeep etc. Sadly there are plenty of older people in the same situation, they get too old to be bothered with upkeep and maintenance and need help. ❤

    What generous kind people you are. I am sorry this is not more,i am disabled myself, and completely understand how things like this can just get out of hand. When you have nobody to turn to for help, or no funds to bring experts in, you become overwhelmed. Its not like tge old days of community, and neighbours helping out the elderly, and this poor lady needs some kind of intervention from social services/council to continue to keep this problem under control. I cant even think of the damp/leaks and the cold/drafts she has to endure.
    Maybe the local churches could offer some regular help and visits?

As you get older, it gets harder and harder to keep up on things and it snowballs quickly. If you don't have anyone to help and don't have the funds to hire the right people to take care of things, you can end up with a tree on your house and ivy eating through the roof.

If she moves, the money she makes will need to be spent on rent and may not last very long. In addition, she'll be away from her old neighborhood where she's lived for so many years. Where she is, she has it all worked out forgetting her groceries and medications, getting transportation to doctor appointments, etc. She'll have to start all over. It's simply not as easy as it sounds.
