Clear storm damage from Rima's garden in Giza
Garden rescue day in Giza: bring gloves and a rake.
🇪🇬 Giza, Giza, Egypt1,164 views
I'm 77 and I have lived in this house in Giza for 38 years. After the storm in September, 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 six 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
