Clear storm damage from Leni's garden in Dortmund
Garden rescue day in Dortmund: bring gloves and a rake.
🇩🇪 44102, Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany1,068 views
I'm 77 and I have lived in this house in Dortmund 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 arthritis.
The council has told me it will be eight 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.

hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Sheffield this morning. Greetings from Sheffield
Hope things get better soon. Wishing Leni a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Paris.
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Dortmund.
hang in there, Leni. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Leni. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from London.
