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

I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in Istanbul for 20 years. After the storm in November, 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 ten 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.

sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!
Sending good thoughts. Wishing Orhan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Good luck, Orhan. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Hang in there, Orhan. Hope you get there.
