A day in the garden: help Omer in Islamabad
Omer, 76, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we are looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇵🇰 Islamabad, Islamabad Capital Territory, Pakistan1,543 views
I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Islamabad for 37 years. After the storm in November, 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 poor eyesight.
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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
