A day in the garden: help Ursula in Karlsruhe
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Ursula's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇩🇪 Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg, Germany1,187 views
I'm 78 and I have lived in this house in Karlsruhe for 49 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. 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.

Thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 25 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope it all works out, Ursula. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Gwangju.
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
You're not alone, Ursula. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Hamilton but we're thinking of you.
Sending good thoughts. Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
hang in there, Ursula. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Karlsruhe.
Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Semarang
Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Anaheim but we're thinking of you. Take care
Best of luck, Ursula. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
