Garden Revamp for Stuart, Wendy and Olivia

Donation protected
Please help us to raise funds for Stuart, Wendy and their Guide Dog Olivia.  The pictures below are of Stuart and Wendy's garden.  Stuart is Blind. He has a lovely Labrador Retriever Cross - Olivia. Stuart and Wendy have asked Reading Borough Council to help them do their garden to make it a safe environment for both Stuart and Olivia. As you can see in the pictures, it can be extremely dangerous for a blind person to navigate even with Olivia's help.  Reading Council have told Stuart and Wendy that they cannot help as a garden is not an essential requirement for a home. However, Olivia needs a safe and playful garden for her to relax in when she is not working to help Stuart.  The garden is on a slight hill and would need to have a smooth path rather than the stone steps seen below. It would also require some different levels - possibly held back with sleepers or flower beds. Ideally the garden would need to be low maintenance so artificial grass and a small patio area at the back of the garden is essential.    Stuart is always giving back to the community and does a lot of voluntary work for Guide Dogs and the RNIB. He also raises awareness to schools and local communities about Blindness and Guide Dogs. I feel that the time has come for the community to give something back to Stuart and his Family.
