A day in the garden: help Hamza in Cairo
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Hamza's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 74 and I have lived in this house in Cairo for 50 years. After the storm in May, 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 ten 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best!
Stay strong, Hamza. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Abbottabad donated after I showed her your page.
Stay strong. Get well soon. Thinking of Cairo.
Wishing you the best. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Put this on a community board in Malang this morning. Love from Malang.
