Clear storm damage from Eren's garden in Istanbul
Garden rescue day in Istanbul: bring gloves and a rake.
🇹🇷 34038, Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye858 views
I'm 88 and I have lived in this house in Istanbul for 22 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: 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from San Antonio.
Hope it all works out, Eren. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together.
Hang in there. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. God bless
