A day in the garden: help Eren in Düsseldorf
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Eren's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇩🇪 Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany1,217 views
I'm 77 and I have lived in this house in Düsseldorf for 22 years. After the storm in December, 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 heart condition.
The council has told me it will be six 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there, Eren. Shared it with a few friends. After 10 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Sending love, Eren. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Sending strength, Eren. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Columbus but we're thinking of you.
