A day in the garden: help Ceren in Istanbul
Ceren, 78, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we are looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 78 and I have lived in this house in Istanbul for 34 years. After the storm in August, 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. 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.

Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Istanbul.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Wiesbaden

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Istanbul

Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 15 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Istanbul.
