Volunteers wanted: Basma's yard after the storm
Garden rescue day in Marrakesh: bring gloves and a rake.
🇲🇦 40063, Marrakesh, Marrakech-Safi, Morocco224 views
I'm 74 and I have lived in this house in Marrakesh for 25 years. After the storm in June, 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 six 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Coyoacán.
Rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Fort Collins.
So sorry you're going through this, Basma. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Celaya

Sending strength, Basma. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 11 people at work. Thinking of Marrakesh.
Best of luck, Basma. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Niterói this morning.
