A day in the garden: help Ioannis in Patras
Garden rescue day in Patras: bring gloves and a rake.
🇬🇷 26259, Patras, Western Greece, Greece476 views
I'm 77 and I have lived in this house in Patras for 43 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 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.
Glad we found this place.

wishing Ioannis a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Take care, Ioannis. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Fort Worth.
