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

I'm 89 and I have lived in this house in Cairo for 34 years. After the storm in June, 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 eight 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Rooting for you, Sawsan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
wishing you peace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 5 people at work. Take care
Get well soon. Love from Gondar
so sorry you're going through this, Sawsan. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Springfield so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
