    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.

      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 :(

      Older people don't mean to neglect things...neighbours nowadays aren't like they were decades ago. No one cares when you get old and are unable to get jobs done. Someone recently asked me why I buy tools if I'm having tradesmen do jobs. The answer is that I try myself because I can't afford ridiculous prices...we then bury our head in the sand. Barbara shows her willingness to do work in the video....and having others work along side you motivates you..even though your limited to what you can do.

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?

      I had a great aunt who lived in a similar bungalow, sadly she had for years suffered from mental health issues including alcoholism and hoarding.
      She eventually had a stroke and was admitted to hospital were she died.
      The bungalow was sold bought by a developer and sold.
      Really sad but it's not always down to a lack of money but sometimes due to other issues and the rnture thing then becomes unimaginable.

      @Beth-kg1lz หลายเดือนก่อน +17

      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. ❤
