A day in the garden: help Wafa in Dammam
Wafa, 85, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we are looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Dammam for 31 years. After the storm in May, 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: 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.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Accra!
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
Stay strong, Wafa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care
Hope things get better soon, Wafa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings!
thanks for sharing this, Wafa. Get well soon
Hang in there, Wafa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Best of luck, Wafa. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Keep going, Wafa. Hope you get there. After 14 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless.

Thinking of you and your family, Wafa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Dammam!
