A day in the garden: help Büşra in Istanbul

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Büşra's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

Istanbul
I'm 74 and I have lived in this house in Istanbul for 23 years. After the storm in November, 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 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
