Clear storm damage from Abdullah's garden in Brisbane
Garden rescue day in Brisbane: bring gloves and a rake.
🇦🇺 4006, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia551 views
I'm 82 and I have lived in this house in Brisbane for 34 years. After the storm in February, 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 twelve 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.
Glad we found this place.

Thanks for sharing this. Wishing Abdullah a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Bangkok.
thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Aurora.
Hope things get better soon, Abdullah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Nnewi donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Brisbane.
