Clear storm damage from Patrick's garden in Nuremberg

Patrick, 92, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

Nuremberg
I'm 92 and I have lived in this house in Nuremberg for 30 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 poor eyesight. 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: 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • Sending strength, Patrick. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Mukono.

    • Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Istanbul.

                            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. Thinking of Nuremberg
