Clear storm damage from Farhan's garden in Faisalabad
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Farhan's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Faisalabad for 29 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Kadıköy donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
You're not alone. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Shubra so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Farhan. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick!
Sending love, Farhan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 29 people at work. Love from Vitória da Conquista
Praying for you, Farhan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Praying for you, Farhan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Faisalabad.
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Liverpool.
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Surrey this morning. Take care.
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
best of luck, Farhan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 18 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Farhan. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
