A day in the garden: help Oskar in Dortmund
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Oskar's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇩🇪 Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany233 views
I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Dortmund for 40 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 arthritis.
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: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
best of luck, Oskar. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Dnipro
sending love. Get well soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Sydney.
sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Manila so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Dortmund
hope things get better soon, Oskar. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
