Volunteers wanted: Bas's yard after the storm
Bas, 76, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇳🇱 Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands1,787 views
I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Utrecht for 25 years. After the storm in February, 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 twelve 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Utrecht.
thinking of you, Bas. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Take care. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Chattogram so I could bring a meal.
rooting for you, Bas. Get well soon.
best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Maringá this morning. Greetings from Maringá.
