Volunteers wanted: Esra's yard after the storm
Garden rescue day in Bornova: bring gloves and a rake.

I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Bornova for 33 years. After the storm in July, 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 heart condition.
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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. 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.

Best of luck, Esra. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best!
Sending love, Esra. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Bornova!
