Clear storm damage from Umar's garden in Faisalabad
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Umar's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇵🇰 Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan620 views
I'm 90 and I have lived in this house in Faisalabad for 26 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 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. 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.

Thinking of you and your family, Umar. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Bogra this morning. God bless!
You're not alone. Hope you get there. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.

wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Good luck, Umar. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Thanks for sharing this, Umar. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
