A day in the garden: help Ismael in Manila

Ismael, 77, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

Manila
I'm 77 and I have lived in this house in Manila for 47 years. After the storm in July, 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 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 hope life is good to you.

    Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Stuttgart this morning. Thinking of Manila.

      Thinking of you. Wishing Ismael a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Istanbul but we're thinking of you. All the best
